Movie No. 30 (2017): TO THE FORE

To The Fore (2015)

Director: Dante Lam

Cast: Choi Si-won, Shawn Dou, Eddie Peng
In Chinese (Cantonese/Mandarin), with English subtitles

The movie is a fictional close look at the professional riders race competition. It centers on the three characters and their respective motivations. The characterization, conflicts, and resolution are formulaic. The formula is not a totally bad thing since the movie has executed them smoothly. What I admire most about the movie are the breathtaking cinematography and seamless editing during scenes involving races.

Rating: 3.5/4.0
