Golden Slumber -- Film Review

Empty

HONG KONG -- Like Jason Bourne, the protagonist of "Golden Slumber" is a victim of a national security level conspiracy and spends the whole film on the run. Unlike the "Bourne" series, its point is not the thrill of the chase. Yet it is no less engrossing because it pushes its subject beyond genre expectations to propound on the theme of trust -- not just of people, but in one's own gut feeling rather than what the government, the media or your friends tell you. Cerebral audiences will appreciate the plot twists with precisely planted clues along the way.
