Acoording to his dangerous project that threatens the lives of sea creatures including the mermaids, the thing that leads them to send Shan, a young beautiful mermaid to kill Xuan, to avoid that danger, but incidents come to climax, when she falls in love with him instead, the thing that makes her people rage and decide to kill him.

Lives in a place of friendly absurdity.February 26, 2016
I had a really good time.February 23, 2016
Chow and his army of writers (seriously, it took nine people to write this) get terrific support from a strong cast of regulars and newcomers who really sell the story, cheesy special effects aside.February 26, 2016
You've already seen most of what Chow and his seven(!) co-screenwriters have crafted, and you've usually seen it with greater coherence and more impressive CGI.February 23, 2016
Like an ecological Lust, Caution, this contempo fairy tale about a mermaid who falls for the evil developer she's been sent to seduce and assassinate is strikingly relevant to ChinaJuly 21, 2016
Chow cares mostly about Liu and Shan's love story - how their spiritual lives transcend their class differences. Yet, Chow balances romantic concerns with the sociological message. Most American films today...work backwards.July 11, 2016
Demonstrates Chow's innate understanding of the physics of humor better than anything he's made since perhaps 2001's Shaolin Soccer.August 03, 2016
Chow habitués will be primed for hyperbolic acting, ludicrous wirework, ugly CGI and outlandish action sequences. Rest assured, those points will be satisfied.November 11, 2016
It's funny, it's frenetic, it's filled with over-the-top violence and it's occasionally just plain twisted.July 05, 2016
It offers a visual reprieve from the cumbersomely mechanized aesthetic of so much contemporary fantasy.February 26, 2016
In The Mermaid, Chow never forgets that the camera is the funniest tool at his disposal, and the only one that speaks in a language that everyone can understand.February 22, 2016
Crass and macabre, yet big-hearted, it makes a wonderfully adult bedtime story.
