...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...

...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.
