Customer Reviews of Election 'Hak Se Wui' (Special Collector's Edition) DVD set
A nice touch of triad lifestyle. Election, winner of the 2005 HK film awards is a nice touch of triad lifestyle and politics. Beating Infernal Affairs II for BEST picture. Johnnie To's does it again and his work is close to Michael Mann's "Heat". The cinematography is good. Story was well written. Cast was great! I was surpise in how HK will follow up Infernal Affairs after it took the 2004 awards. This collector's edition disc set is a great value and footage of teh Cannes festival was intersting. I hope that America dos not make another Asain remake again.
A good crime drama well worth watching if only to set up the superb sequel
Despite a tight narrative, Johnnie To's Election feels at times like it was once a longer picture, with many characters and plot strands abandoned or ultimately unresolved. Some of these are dealt with in the truly excellent and far superior sequel, Election 2: Harmony is a Virtue, but it's still a dependably enthralling thriller about a contested Triad election that bypasses the usual shootouts and explosions (though not the violence) in favor of constantly shifting alliances that can turn in the time it takes to make a phone call. It's also a film where the most ruthless character isn't always the most threatening one, as the chilling ending makes only too clear: one can imagine a lifetime of psychological counselling being necessary for all the trauma that one inflicts on one unfortunate bystander.

>Extras on the 2-disc set aren't over-plentiful, but the interviews with Johnnie To, Simon Yam (always at his best under To's direction, and possibly never better here), Wang Tianlin and Tony Leung Ka Fei are more in-depth and thoughtful than usual. Also included are a brief featurette (like the interviews subtitled in English), stills galleries, 2 unsubtitled TV spots, 2 unsubtitled theatrical trailers, and booklet.
