Kelly Chan's performance makes me cringe...


Probably the single worst performance is recent HK cinematic history. Looking at her trying to act tough - which is extremely contrived - has made me want to turn off the screen several times. Granted, it may not be totally her fault, as the casting is terrible in the first place. Kelly and Maggie Shiu (Grace, the media relations woman) should have switched role.

What a stupid and ignorant commenting!

On the contrary, her performance was most excellent. Her character was supposed to be exactly like that. The whole point is, that her character doesn't show much emotions, but focuses on her job like a cold hard class pro, but still showing a slight humane side in certain situations. Chen used "minimalistic" acting intentionally. Her performance suited perfectly in a movie and character like this.
