________ The film revolves around the brutal murder of David Leong’s honest officer Shun, who before his death is forced to watch his wife being raped and executed. As per the belief that a person’s soul returns on the 7th night after their death, Shun’s spirit possesses his 13 year old younger sister Qin (Joey Leong), using her body to track down and take revenge upon his killers.
Although its premise may sound a touch generic, “Blood Ties” is a surprisingly ambitious affair, with a fractured narrative which leaps around in time, both before and after the heinous crime at its centre. Chai does a far better job with this format than many other more experienced helmers, and avoids the usual kind of pointless repetition and forced cleverness which tends to mark so many other films of its kind. Partly this is due to his boldness at quite openly revealing future events in a starkly casual manner, most notably the deaths of certain characters, quite often leaving the viewer guessing as to what they have actually seen. As a result, whilst the story itself is fairly basic, charting Shun/Qin hunting down and killing all involved in his death, it’s confident, engaging and pleasingly complex, with some excellently timed revelations making for a few genuine surprises during the final act. @beyondhollywood.com ________
Structurally, Blood Ties tries to marry its vengeance tale to the cyclical feeling, subjective flashback form a lot of Asian "twist" movies prefer. It's one of those movies that shows flashbacks but does not signal their extreme subjectivity ({...}) very well. Unlike a lot of other movies of this type, Blood Ties does not use this technique so heavily that it becomes annoying; in fact, for most parts, the structure gives the film a rhythm that nicely intertwines the nasty violence and slower scenes of somewhat softer emotions.@http://houseinrlyeh.blogspot.fr
