Film Review: Limbo 智齒 (2021) - Hong Kong
Reviewed by Andrew Chan (Film Critics Circle of Australia)
Hong Kong Director Soi Cheang Pou-soi returns to his devilish best in this dystopia film that could have been set in any damning city in the world. With the dark side of the Hong Kong backdrop filled with rubbish and perfect juxtaposed with the noir lighting filmed in black and white for the entire duration. “Limbo” is every bit a dystopian nightmare and even at times hellish to the point of bottomless pit of society that no one wants to care, associate or be part of. This is the kind of brutal world created and shot beautifully by Soi Cheang, in a script written by Au Kin-yee and Shum Kwan-sin, which is a direct adaptation of Chinese author Lei Mi’s novel “Wisdom Tooth”.
In terms of memorable performance of the year, few can surpass, Chinese actress Cya Liu whose desperation for survival as she clings on to the demeaning situation that the world has put her into. Winning the Best Actress Award at the Hong Kong Films Awards is a well deserved recognition in a role that few actress in Hong Kong right now can undertake so captivatingly. The eyes, the emotions and the real heart felt performance goes beyond the black and white as the darkness of this dystopia is all the more evident as the credit rolls, her face is what lingers in our critical mindset.
Likewise, Gordon Lam Ka Tung is equal to the task as the expression filled angst and jaded cop that has an ongoing agenda against Cya Liu as she was involved in an accident that directly permanently injured his then pregnant wife. Lam is impressive and produced a sort of range that easily should have garnered him a Best Actor award. Mason Lee shines as the ambitious young cop and team captain who learns the ways of the world through real life experience from hell and back. Japanese actor Hiroyuki Ikeuchi goes wild in a raw performance that alludes to a wild animal amongst the dumpsters. Fish Liew continues her run of good character roles.
All in all, “Limbo” works well when viewed with an open mind as we descent into the dystopia that Soi Cheang wanted us to experience just as the characters are required to physically and emotionally invest into the condemning situations. Director Soi Cheang is at his best when allowed to create dark characters, “Dog Bite Dog” and “Shamo” comes to mind, almost forgetting the trilogy in the commercially driven and successful “Monkey King” series. Dark films requires strong and memorable performances and with Cya Liu, the Hong Kong cinema world has discovered another talent will shine on a even bigger stage. Film fans should rejoice on that alone. It also shows that Hong Kong filmmakers still have plenty of stories to tell.
I rated it 9/10
Note: The film was nominated for 14 categories and wining 4 awards at the Hong Kong Film Awards 2022. Including Best Actress, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction.

As a member of a group of investors who pooled together $350000 in Bitcoin, I often reflect on our tumultuous journey, especially since many of us hailed from Chicago. Our initial enthusiasm was palpable; we were eager to dive into Bitcoin mining convinced that this venture would yield substantial profits. After conducting thorough research, the potential seemed boundless. However, our aspirations quickly devolved into a harrowing ordeal when we fell victim to a sophisticated scam. The calamity began when we were approached by an individual claiming to be a supplier for DeBeers, the renowned diamond company. This person presented an enticing offer for high-quality mining equipment at an unbelievably low price. Ensnared by the prospect of significant savings, we made the fateful decision to transfer our Bitcoin to this supplier’s wallet believing we were making a sound investment. Little did we know we were being lured into a meticulously crafted trap. Once the transaction was finalized, the harsh reality struck us. The supplier vanished without a trace leaving us with nothing but a gaping void in our finances and shattered dreams. The sense of betrayal was overwhelming. We had placed our trust in this individual only to discover that we had become victims of a well-orchestrated scam. The loss was not merely financial; it felt like a profound betrayal of our collective trust and aspirations. We grappled with self-doubt and questioned the decisions that led us to this point. We resolved not to let this setback define us. Determined to recover our lost funds, we sought the expertise of TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL, a specialized recovery service renowned for its proficiency in tracing stolen cryptocurrency. TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL quickly emerged as our beacon of hope. Their team of adept professionals worked tirelessly to track our stolen Bitcoin through various exchanges. Utilizing advanced blockchain analysis techniques, they meticulously traced the movement of our funds navigating through layers of transactions and obfuscation tactics employed by the scammers. The process was arduous but TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL kept us informed at every juncture providing updates and instilling a sense of optimism that we could recover at least a portion of our investment. After what felt like an eternity, TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL achieved the remarkable feat of recovering 95% of the stolen Bitcoin. The moment we received the news was a euphoric blend of joy and disbelief. While we had incurred a significant loss, recovering such a substantial portion of our funds felt like a hard-won victory in the face of adversity. TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL not only restored our faith in the cryptocurrency ecosystem but also reminded us that there are dedicated professionals willing to assist victims like us. This has imparted invaluable lessons about the paramount importance of vigilance and due diligence in the cryptocurrency realm. I now understand the necessity of thoroughly vetting suppliers and exercising caution with investments. While we faced a significant setback, the recovery process facilitated by TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL has allowed us to regroup and reevaluate our approach to Bitcoin mining. Armed with newfound knowledge and prudence, I feel better equipped to navigate the complexities of the cryptocurrency market ensuring that I make informed decisions in the future. I hope our story serves as a cautionary tale for others in Chicago and beyond reminding them to remain vigilant in this ever-evolving landscape. Thanks to TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL we not only regained a substantial portion of our investment but also emerged from this experience wiser and more cautious ready to confront the challenges of the cryptocurrency world with renewed determination.
