Black Coal, Thin Ice (Chinese: Bai Ri Yan Huo) is a Chinese thriller film written and directed by Diao Yinan.
Starring Liao Fan, Gwei Lun-Mei, Wang Xuebing, Wang Jingchun & Yu Ailei.
The discovery of the body parts of a man scattered across northeast China calls in Detective Zhang to investigate about the incident. The investigation goes wrong and they suspended Zhang. Five years later similar type of murders starts to happen again and Zhang teams up with his old partner once again to hunt down the killer.
Diao's intention is to make a realistic movie and somehow he succeeded it. Cinematographer Dong Jinsong captures the whole story in a unique way which creates a nice ambience all the time. The climax was visually interesting, especially the end credits were shot in a way nobody could anticipate. Overall, it's a watchable investigative thriller and it could have been a better one if it has a good pace.
Verdict: Average
