If the director is using the slow pace for a reason (to enhance mood, flesh out a character, etc.) then its a good attribute.
If its slow in the sense that minutes feel like hours because what is being dwelled on is unecessary or completely uninteresting, than yeah, its a negative.

Yeah, I mean, it's weird, not a lot "happens" in the movie... I dunno. It's a strange one. But in the end, I dug it. I guess it just wasn't what I was expecting.
My top 10 Johnnie To films:
1. Fulltime Killer
2. The Mission
3. Running Out of Time
4. Hero Never Dies
5. Odd One Dies
6. Breaking News
7. Triad Election
8. Exiled
9. Vengeance
10. Mad Detective
Also, HIGHLY reccomend many of the films he has produced:Eye in the Sky, Too Many Ways to be No. 1, etc.
