"An atmospheric grafting of Hong Kong action stylistics onto the L.A. cityscape, the film benefits from its assured feel for the streets putting its Korea town setting and Asian-American characters firmly within the traditions of both genres. If True Romance is the gonzo extreme of Noir then Undoing is the cool, jazz center. Kelly Hu is great and Russell Wong is brilliant in a Christopher Walken inspired performance."UNDOING is a noir drama set in LA's Koreatown about a man who returns after a mysterious absence to reconcile the death of his best friend exactly one year ago. The film stars actors SUNG KANG (The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift), RUSSELL WONG (The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor), KELLY HU (Scorpion King, X-Men 2), LEONARDO NAM (Vantage Point), and TOM BOWER (The Hills Have EYES). UNDOING made its World Premiere at the 2006 Los Angeles Film Festival, and was selected for other film festivals including the SF International Asian American Film Festival, San Diego Asian Film Festival, Asian Cinevision, and the Hawaii International Film Festival. It was released theatrically in San Francisco, New York, Boston, with its final run in Los Angeles in January 2008.
