Healing Hearts (2000)

Summary: Almost a complete waste of time!
As a lure for its upcoming TV series, this is an interesting vehicle that almost works. Unfortunately, we are introduced to so many characters and sub-plots that trying to keep up with many of them is a hopeless task. In the end, this felt more like a 2 hour long commercial than a movie. Tony Leung's character is engaging enough, and he proves once again what a great actor he is. Unfortunately, Michelle Reis as the female lead, was not nearly as convincing. Her acting was sometimes wooden and contrived... and no one just coming out of a coma can look that perfectly made up! If you have seen the original TVB series from about 2 years ago, you will definitely see the mimicked storylines and characters. All in all, wait until the new TV series comes out and don't waste your time on the movie!
