(비스트 스토커証人)Dante Lam has made the Hong Kong action hit of the year, elegantly fusing a solid action picture with the depth of an emotional psychodrama. The Beast Stalker grips like a vice from the opening frames: a thrilling car chase that ends with a $200,000 multicar stunt you have to see to believe. The film quickly introduces Tong Fei (a maturing Nicolas Tse) as the young leader of the cops who are chasing a triad boss. Tong mistakenly kills one of the twin daughters of a prosecuting attorney who is trying the boss’ case. Before he can wallow too deeply in pain and guilt, the attorney’s other twin daughter is kidnapped. Tong takes the gamble to get her back at the risk of causing the second daughter’s death. The dark and gritty roots woven by scenarist Jack Ng refuse to release their tense stranglehold on the audience while Nick Cheung embodies the hired kidnapper as a repellent, one-eyed killer-for-hire and turns it into a symphony of sympathy. The story builds its suspense through a variety of wonderfully staged action set pieces and a rhythmic, atmospheric score. Lam gets the adrenaline pumping with his energetic directing, which plays the humanity of the lead performances to full effect.
