(Rwo) Review: A study of Vietnam's rising scandalous showbiz

Making good films is a hard job, but Victor Vu did it again with his movie - "Scandal". The story is simple: two actresses compete with each other for roles, allowing career and personal jealousy to influence their judgment, resulting in terrifying consequences.

But!

Such a complicated, out-of-control, deep, dark but still straight-forward and satisfying thriller flick. Everything are cooked up with an array of tension and creepy visuals. You'll be surprised the whole time. 

A very good film. And it confirms one more thing: Victor Vu has style. Congratulations!

Rating: 4/5 stars.(bias)
