Good instincts from Ling Man-Lung, mixed result

Ling Man-Lung gives this role a little extra shape without making a big show of it. I like the idea of the performance more than the full result. I would not call it bad, just not as sharp as it could have been. The quieter stuff works better than the bigger beats. Some scenes click, some just sit there. That is the part I kept thinking about after the movie ended.
