Scott R @ScottR Oct 5 NYT 1000 movies list. Although the subject matter was unique about Chinese mafia, I struggled to care. Saw on Tubi.

See more 08/23/2021 Johnnie To's solid film revolving around the election of a new triad leader in Hong Kong. See more 07/14/2020 Thickly plotted crime drama that uses a Triad crime family as a backdrop, with their unique and contrasting characters, to explore themes such as honor and loyalty. See more 06/10/2016 Director Johnnie To is to Hong Kong what Scorsese is to New York and American cinema. Few directors in the world capture the criminal underworld as well Johnnie To. What is made more remarkable is he does effortlessly and efficiently. At 97 mins, Election unfolds like a classic gangster epic, but an epic that has had its fat trimmed from every frame. Election is about the Chinese Triads and their democratic process to elect their next leader. Ever two years there's an election, and this campaign season sees to opposite men matching wits and violence to secure their votes. If the film had a softer under belly this could easily be a satire for American politics. But it isn't. And better for it. See more Read all reviews
