The truth about The Truth is that there is nothing that could be done to help it. This review is going to be so negative that any fans of Andy Lau, Deannie Yip, Johnny or Michael Mak should stop right here and don't read the rest. The original was bad enough, but the sequel is even worst.

In fact, as I'm thinking how to start the story, I don't think I should bother, as it is so bad. Michael Mak is not the best director at the best of times, and despite teaming up with his brother Johnny they still don't manage to make much more 10 minutes of the film interesting. Basically it's a crime drama, rather a court drama. Andy Lau plays (very badly) a lawyer, and his mother's (also played very badly) character by Deannie Yip. Andy deals with several cases, all of which are pointless to portray, from small theft to police corruption. Things start to get a bit more interesting half way through when Andy Lau is framed for murder (predictable actually that something like this would happen) and his mother actually thinks he might have done it, and obviously fall out with each other. So it continues...to a very boring and unexplainable finish.

If you read this far, then you will be making a fatal mistake is you watch this. Utter rubbish.
