Chongqing Hot Pot. Photos Top cast Edit. Qing Yang. More like this. Watch options. Storyline Edit. This movie has a really nice cinematography, lots of shots that just pop and a very elegant, Old Boy inspired fight scene that's just really pleasant to look at.
One of those expansive Chinese crime films that keep shifting genres and adding new elements by its own logic. Chongqing Hot Pot looks great both the photogenic cast and cinematography , sounds great and has a fun, energetic vibe to it. Chen Kun sometimes over spices the hot pot with his wild eyed overacting, particularly during the lengthy finale, but the rest of the cast are solid, and there are a few great action moments.
Part of the problem of the Chinese censorship board is that onscreen crimes can't go unpunished, and you can almost see the director and scriptwriters tying themselves in knots trying to have their characters be planning a bank robbery whilst still remaining 'good' in the eyes of the censors. Sometimes though, those limitations can make for interesting results, and that's the more or less the case here.
None of the characters in the movie were saints, all weighed down by their flaws, but who needs a perfect character when you have a solid movie which pays off in the Chongqing Hot Pot. Review by willy 2. Probably one of the most innovative takes on a crime film I've seen out of China in quite some time.
Actually it's probably barely a crime film in a lot ways but anyways, this was an unexpected joy of a film. Chongqing Hot Pot TMDb Score. NR 1 hr 37 min Apr 1st, Drama. Director Yang Qing. Bai Baihe. Qin Hao. Jungle Cruise. Space Jam: A New Legacy. Snake Eyes: G. Joe Origins. Pray Away. Swan Song.
Dazu kommt ein tolles…. Everything I said back in still applies, with the added knowledge that it very much holds up on a rewatch though. A lovely shot, well-acted, compelling oddity of an action-drama-comedy-friendship story and one of the highlights of But it puts them to good use.
There is an earnesty and an enthusism here, a confidence. Chongqing Hot Pot looks gorgeous, hell, Chongqing looks gorgeous. A sprawling modern city, intimidating facades of low income housing, a mess of concrete and glass.
This is a contemporary film from the mainland that's not glossy and overly concerned with exuding wealth. It's fun, it's very well made and in a lot of ways it reminds me of all the good stuff that came out of Hong Kong in the late 90s.
