stupidest movie ever

[deleted]

yeah I agree. Was watching this movie and it seemed to have a good plot outline :

"Divergence tells the story of three men: A reckless hit-man named Coke, Suen Siu-yan, a police officer whose fiancée has been missing for 10 years, and Barrister To Hou-sung, a lawyer who works for a mobster. While conducting a routine witness transfer Suen Siu-yan feels the wrath of the hit man Coke. After barely escaping with his life, he starts further investigation into the case, the prize being Barrister To's gangster boss. At this point, three seemingly unrelated lives converge into a hailstorm of bullets and bloodshed."

I was thinking great, a hopefully good HK action flick to watch. I was wrong! This movie was so boring and tied with too many extravagant plot lines embedded with characters who were borderline insane.

It really was just a whacky movie that had Cantopop stars to play the love/bad guy/ good guy/ loverboy character all rolled into one.

Haha, I came to this board to say the exact same thing. I can't believe I actually bought this pretentious piece of crap.

I read the story and thought it would be very interesting. I always like a well-crafted script that interweaves storylines that seemingly have no relation with each other (e.g. Pulp Fiction, Crash, Magnolia) and I expected the same thing with this movie. The movie begins very, very interesting when all the questions arise and you wonder what the relation is between the different characters.

*** Spoiler alert ***

Well, in the end the relationship between the characters isn't even remotely interesting and noteworthy to mention. And events that occur int this movie don't help either. The scene where Aaron Kwok let himself slide of a steep driveway (which probably won him a best actor award) and cries out in pure agony made me cringe heavily and find myself wanting to eject the DVD immediately. I should've done that, because the final confrontation between Ekin Cheng and that same Aaron Kwok in the parking lot (I believe it was) is equally painful to watch. I mean, who the heck wrote the line spoken by Ekin: "why do you let all those bad guys go?", when blaming the police for not doing their job right. It's lazy writing and made me cringe even more.

But in all fairness, the movie is not bad in every aspect. The movie was great visually and the story itself was quite interesting. The action-scene with Ekin Cheng chasing Daniel Wu (who gives a fine performance by the way) is also amazingly choreographed and shot.

But due to lazy writing and over-acting (especially by Kwok) the movie is killed almost entirely.

I rather enjoyed it and can see why Aaron won the Best actor award at the Golden Horse Award.

Catastrophic Movie. Untalented Acting, Empty Script, No Storyline, Unconclusive Ending. Just Sh*t Movie. One of HK's worst.

Wow, you guys ripped this movie really hard. When I watched it the first time I either fell asleep or I didn't pay attention to it that good so I didn't know what was happening. The second time around I was totally paying attention and I really loved this movie. It's really good. Yeah, a tab bit confusing but I like the plot and the writing. I could definitely watch this movie again and still find it entertaining and interesting.
