Triangle Reviews
The beauty of the final showdown is that it's a form in which anything could happen. It's an emotional wilderness, a sort of invented environment that brings To closer to Andr Tchin than either of his two co-directors here.

Your best strategy is simply to sit back, try to follow along, and enjoy the hijinks.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 16, 2009
A convoluted crime caper with strong ethical underpinnings to support its many moods and styles.

The film is made confusing not only by the twisting plot but by the varied styles of the three cult directors.

To's stylishly choreographed, action-led finale wraps things up with a blackly humorous and suspenseful stand-off in an outdoor restaurant.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 29, 2008
But there is an inescapable air of disappointment that three brilliant directors have handed in a movie that barely scratches the potential of the experiment.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 29, 2008
Three of Hong Kong cinema's top names take turns to direct this batty heist-gone-wrong thriller, which proceeds from stylish-but-incomprehensible (Tsui Hark) through crunchy and violent (Ringo Lam) to just barking (Johnnie To).

The filmic equivalent of pass-the-parcel on Triangle, a convoluted crime caper about a mysterious gold coin and the luckless bozos on its trail.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 29, 2008
The results are messy, incoherent and ultimately three times as tedious.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 29, 2008
Little of it however, is genuinely striking enough to suggest a welcome reception beyond the already converted.
| Original Score: 2/6 | Aug 29, 2008
It's a shaggy dog story, with a script obviously made up as the film was being shot, but reasonably engrossing as the directors enjoy exaggerating their own mannerisms.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 29, 2008
A seriocomic crimer by Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam and Johnnie To that's a diverting, sometimes head-scratching experiment that will mostly chime with Asian movie buffs rather than satisfy general auds as a single, homogenous pic.

Any fan who can tell Anthony Wong from Andy Lau will find worth watching for more than just the three-directors approach.
| May 18, 2007
The cinematic equivalent of an inedible mess where ingredients war with one another and no one has paid any attention to the poor fellow who must consume the meal.
