Special Double (2024)

An upcoming Chinese computer animated motion capture action fantasy adventure film written and directed by Guo Jing Ming, the sequel to the first L.O.R.D: Legend of Ravaging Dynasties film.

A masterful minor exercise in telling a story with a twist and an equally masterful exercise in the dramatic use of what's known as a Steadycam, a camera with flowing motion. The car journey with one lover too many gets completely out of hand. And after the twist, another one follows. My Rating: 2.5 / 5 wink.gif
