The Wild Goose Lake [Film Review]

Iam not 100% sure where I stand on this film.
It is a modern take on the classic "hunted man"/"criminal fugitive" noir trope, complete with duplicitous femme fatale. But there were several continuity/editing gaffes which made some of the narrative a little confusing.
Intense action sequences and high drama moments were buffered by overly long slow periods that could easily have been trimmed.
Great neon saturated cinematography and cool use of shadows and light made it visually stunning, plus it is well acted and the subtitles were readable and seemed on point.

Rating: 3.5/5
RIYL: 
Only God Forgives; Drive; Drug War; The Villainess
