Director Philip Yung's PORT OF CALL's central incident is the brutal murder of a young 16-year-old Hunan girl who moved to Hong Kong with her family and fell into prostitution. Winding through time and grounded by Christopher Doyle's gauzy cinematography, the film follows both the story of the young girl's descent into sex work and Aaron Kwok's grizzled detective as he obsessively seeks an answer to the brutality of the murder. Kwok is astonishing here in his career's best role, with all the tics and haggard body language of a man beaten down by the violence that threatens to drown him at every turn.

It's a pretty hyped crime drama. The pace is rather draggy and nothing of substance happens for the entire runtime. There are also a lot of flashbacks, which irritated me and made it hard to navigate, but I also praise the original theme along with the killer motif. I was also intrigued by the detail shown in the butchering, but for me this is insufficient. I would have much preferred if more people had died during the film, because the visuals and gore looked more than appealing. 60%.

An intriguing thriller that, on the one hand, somewhat bored me with its pace, but on the other hand, I also thought that it wasn't that bad. Some scenes can be quite breathtaking, at least if you are not used to something like this. But then again, the pace picks up, which becomes quite exhausting. Slightly above average.
