Dead Pigs (2018)
4/10
Sorry, barely watchable, another lukewarm failure
14 February 2021
I have tried my best to keep going, but after 30 minutes, I decided not to continue. When I turned my head to tell my wife that this movie actually quite sucked, she just said: "I thought your judgement about whether a movie is watchable or not all is better than me, yet you've struggled over 30 minutes to tell me you decided to give it up. You didn't even noticed that I've already stopped watching after about 10 minutes. Because I've already decided it's another boring movie." She made fun of me about my tardiness.

Anyway, I strongly recommend that Mason Lee, who played the son role in this movie, to give up the acting better sooner than later. He just got no talent at all. And he was one of the major negative reasons that we both decided he's the bomber. Also, the guy who played Sean Landry, better not to seek career in acting too.

The screenplay is too weak and too lack of energy to go on. There were so many unnecessary scenes that should be cut generously. They were so sporadically blend and uninteresting. It should be cut and shorten to 90 minutes or even more. The storyline, the scenarios, and the plots, simply not strong enough to keep it interested.

There were also so many unnecessary acting scenes with extreme exaggerations and dragged too long. The movie itself which decided to use the disastrous pig plague happened couple of years ago is something that the CCP government didn't like to mention about. Using it as the main background as the movie's subject could only dumped one or two pigs to make it look like.

This is a movie with weak directing, editing and acting. Very cliched and awfully boring. Another mediocre Chinese movie that flunk under 5-star score.
