...real estate wrangle is not the first place movie folks would normally go for drama. But that reckons without the strength of the characters Andre Dubus III created for his novel or the detailed care with which writer-director Perelman has brought them to the screen in his first feature. The minute we meet them all (including Iranian actress Aghdashloo, who is great as the colonel's timorous, sweet-souled wife), we sense that we're in the presence of darkly fated lives...
...than the two newcomers. Though measured in split seconds, the lags between bursts of talk can make a conversation feel painfully slow. Nextel's 10 push-to-talk phones include a BlackBerry PDA ($350) and the new Motorola i730 ($300), which is chunky but sports a 65,000-color screen and a great-sounding speakerphone...

Hit movies in which he did not appear, such as Aces Go Places and Jan Dara as well...
...Alan Mak solve that potential casting problem by shifting the third film back and forth in time, a few months before the first IA and a few months after its end, when a seemingly free-and-clear Ming rejoins the cops. With Yan, Wong and Sam shimmering across the screen like walking phantoms, IA3 begins to take on the atmosphere of a ghost story, an impression that is reinforced when paranoid Ming starts seeing what seem like actual ghosts. Is he going nuts?or is he just confused, like much of the audience...
