Audience Member A pretty atmospheric firefighting drama set in a modern powerstation on a christmas eve where maintaining power overruled preserving lives, for some. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Simon Yam stood out from the rest in this firefighters tale of courage, friendship, duty and disaster relief, Hong Kong style. Expect clichés and no surprises but some good acting :) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member With a story that's familiar and empathetic, As the Light Goes Out is an above average HK production with promising performances, detailed art direction and often seamlessly blended visual effects. a fine and enjoyable film Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review andrew c Not bad. Kind of your standard disaster film involving firefighters vs fire. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member kinda disjointed edit of the story, or the screenplay- mixed with 3 dozen people 90% covered in outfits to add to not really knowing whos who or whats going on. Would recommend "The Tower" over this one if firefighter disaster is your thing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review camille l As The Light Goes Out est un film visuellement remarquable, dans lequel Derek Kwow se sert parfaitement de son budget pour y orchestrer des séquences de destruction plutôt impressionnantes. C'est dommage qu'il ait complètement oublié que pour qu'on soit investi dans l'histoire, il fallait aussi des personnages intéressants et non pas des clichés ambulants comme celui de Nicholas Tse ou de Simon Yam. Les acteurs essaient donc de faire le maximum avec ce qu'ils ont à jouer et on les a tous vu bien meilleurs ailleurs, comme Hu Jun, qui est très mal servi par son personnage. As The Light Goes Out est aussi bien trop long pour son propre bien. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
