rating: 5 QuoteCouldn't believe my good fortune!Quote
What a splendid film. Beautiful cinematography, exotic locales, sensitive, intelligent script. The relationship of two women develops, though they have a connection unforeseen. When this is revealed to them and the audience, the story progresses into a tense search for a vulnerable captive, surprisingly discarded by her lover. Why hasn't this film been promoted?

Midnight Fly was promoted as Anita Mui's first effort with English; too bad she didn't speak up. What is audible is how uncomfortable Mui is speaking the language, so why use it at all? I was excited about the pairing of Mui and Simon Yam but this film was a waste of two wonderful talents. I'll give five stars photography, but as a thriller in the traidition of Hitchcock -- the master would have been offended. June 10, 2002

I loved this drama because of the beautiful locations and photography, and execellent acting by the two main characters. The first part of the film moves slowly and develops the relationship between two women on vacation. The second half of the movie is a thriller that builds on the characters and emotions developed in the first half. Anita Mui plays an excellent dramatic role here. Simon Yam appears for a while, but not playing an action role, as I've seen him in other movies. The relationship between the two women and Simon Yam creates tension that builds when the thriller plot kicks in.

I listened to the Mandarin soundtrack, but by spotchecking the Cantonese soundtrack, I found that Mui and the other woman use English a lot more here than in the Mandarin soundtrack. The dvd features two trailers for the movie and short bios and filmographies for Mui and Yam. I would highly recommend this movie. May 25, 2002
