Sundance Reviews - Drummer

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008 at 3:21 am by Jami

Sid, the son of a Hong Kong gangster and a drummer in a rock band, is sent away to Taiwan for his own good after shacking up with a rival gangster’s girlfriend. There, he discovers a Zen drum troop and convinces them to teach him their ways. The impatient youth soon finds that it’s not as simple as picking up a stick and hitting a drum. And so begins his journey of self-discovery and redemption.

J.C. Chan stars as Sid and also happens to be Jackie Chan’s son. It’s hard to believe this is his first full feature film. We really see his evolution from a wild out of control brat to a calm and steady mature adult. Equally impressive is the fact that this is Kenneth Bi’s second directorial endeavor. Drummer is truly a wonderful film that must be experienced.
