Review of Streetwise

Streetwise (2021)
3/10
Odd and unengaging slice of Chinese urban life
2 December 2023
It's a short slice of life about a couple of rather ineffective debt collectors. The main character, Dongzi, shows no wisdom about streets or anything else, does odd things for no very obvious reason and I had no sympathy for him and precious little interest. The other, Jun, is bland and rather stupid. There's no story flow, just a succession of loosely connected incidents.

The ending is random, messily done and unsatisfying. The acting and other technical aspects seemed OK but I couldn't get into this enough to care and I can't see any reason for anyone to watch it.

I was asked to add more characters to meet the arbitrary limit.
