What some people do for a living! A medical examiner has the unenviable task of cutting up bodies and prying into their intestines. As the saying goes: it’s a dirty job, but somebody’s gotta do it. On a weekday night in Hong Kong, one such dude is diligently at work alongside his assistant. Then, without bothering to knock, three armed men barge in, their faces hidden behind goblin masks. They demand a bullet lodged inside a corpse that was recently brought in. Why they want the piece of metal and what their exact identity is, remains a mystery at first. Soon, a cat-and-mouse game ensues between the medic and his assailants, with both sides trying to get the upper hand. (Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival)

Egy modern hongkongi hullaházban játszódó lendületes akcióthriller, élvezetes fizikai verekedésekkel. Semmi új, de méltón emlékeztető a régi szép időkre a McTiernan/Harlin akciós ütős filmekkel. Csak azt a mega olcsó filmzenét ki lehetett volna hagyni. [Sitges FF]

This is the story of the employees of an ultra-modern, large morgue who are facing an armed assault on Christmas Eve. It makes no sense even in the most basic terms and consists of mediocre action sequences consisting of characters running around and wrestling in corridors, offices and freezer halls. It is filmed pleasantly briskly and energetically, but there really is no logic and credibility in the behaviour of the heroes and the implementation of specific situations. The stupid villains and naively positive heroes, who are constantly trying to outwit the armed attackers at all costs, and the overall feeling of the film is reminiscent of many action thrillers from the 90s. If you turn off your brain, you can enjoy the film’s amusing developments if you only watch it once, but you really can't expect more from it.

After a long time, a passable Hong Kong flick with the awesome Nick Cheung. Three masked assailants attack a morgue on Christmas Day and demand a bullet from a corpse, but of course things don’t go as planned. Cheung is a reasonably intelligent pathologist so he gives them all a good run for their money, and I also enjoyed the decently dosed action which, while not surprising today, doesn't offend. 65%.

Renny Harlin is kind of back in action. Bodies at Rest is quite evocative of his sequel to Die Hard - if it took place in a morgue, which really was the thing that was attracting me to the screening of this movie. It really is such an old-school action thriller in Chinese style. The screenplay is fairly average and it may not be advisable to think too deeply about some aspects of the plot, but the fresh and dynamic direction constantly throws some action in the way to distract the audience from such things. It neither inspires nor offends. [Sitges 2019]
