Country:Singapore
Runtime:90 min
Released:27 Mar 2003
Plot: City Sharks 2003 Like many others, I keep away from local films like the plague Movies like One Leg Kicking, Sharp Pencil, Chicken Rice War and Liang Po Po have left me with a bad taste in my mouth But alas, along came City Sharks, a movie starring the very surprising in a good way Nicholas Lee Ok, I admit I didnt catch the movie when it played in the cinemas But I was fortunate enough to catch it some weeks back at Fort Canning where it played to a few thousand people in the park I heard some grumble why are they showing a local film Why dont they show Daredevil etc etc But these were the same people who were, half an hour later, laughing hysterically at the antics on screen It was funny, didnt try to be arty, and was just 90 minutes of fun, fun, fun I loved the fact that something new happened every ten minutes in the film And thanks to Sharks, I have since borrowed more local films on video Mostly crap, as expected, but a few great ones like Eating Air Is it a coincidence that Air like Sharks is a road ie movie Perhaps more Singaporean filmmakers should make road movies instead of poorly made movies about football, chicken rice, trees, janes and sams Good work to the Singaporean or was it Malaysian team for an extremely entertaining movie And thanks too for restoring my faith in local movies
