Editor’s Note: Snakehead (2021) effectively embraces its Action, Drama, and Crime elements without coming across as clichéd. Director Evan Leong presents a concise narrative that prioritizes character development over superficial flashy sequences. The performances, particularly by Shuya Chang, Jade Wu, and Devon Diep, add significant emotional weight to the tale. With a runtime of 1 hour and 29 minutes, the film aligns well with its content. While the audience response has been mixed, the film captivates with its atmospheric storytelling. The tagline, “An American crime saga,” aptly encapsulates its essence. If the storyline resonates with you, consider adding it to your watchlist.
