Synopsis :
Derek Yee steps back to take the role of
producer for Derek Chiu?s The Road Less
Traveled, a thematic continuation of sorts from
Lost in Time and a well-meaning attempt at a
low-key human drama driven by characters and
credible situations. Instead of trying to make
a Hong Kong story understandable to a Mainland
Chinese audience or vice versa, Derek Chiu
tells a story that tries to cover both Hong
Kong and Mainland sensibilities. The intentions
here almost make it acceptable to excuse the
film?s faults, but The Road Less Traveled
unfortunately has too many faults to excuse.
Like in Lost in Time, Chiu and his co-
writers (including Yee, credited as one of
three ?associate script writers? along with
Chan Kin-Chung as the script's co-writer) focus
on another down-to-earth profession: cross-
border truck drivers. The driver in this story,
Liang (Louis Koo), may be the nicest truck
driver in the world. He treats customs officers
with respect, he looks over the plants in his
truck like they're his own children, he listens
to classical music during his drives, he?s an
accomplished chef, and he even keeps a garden
in his urban home. |
