Summary: Home for the Insane
After an hour and 28 minutes, I thought to myself, "so when does the movie start??" as the credits start rolling.

A very confusing movie, not helped by the bad subtitles, about a brother who strays from his family and is caught up with criminals in Hong Kong. Years have gone by and he tries to visit his home but his brother wants nothing to do with him. Eventually, he welcomes his brother back (not before lots of pointless gang fights and a kidnapping) and another twist in the story is Ray Lui suffering from an illness from excessive smoking, and eventually dies. But apart from that, there is nothing going on.

The only good point I have to make on this movie is in fact the way it portrays Ray Lui suffering from this illness, in fact they might have well just made the movie about this, and forgotten the other hour or so of rubbish. After all, Ray Lui was acting well here, and nobody else seemed convincing enough to believe.

To conclude, I would not recommend 'A Home For A Villain' to anyone.

My rating (of 5): 1

(This rating is based on the year & genre, so don't think it's based as a comparison on new releases etc.)
