A Road Less Traveled | 一路有你 | Yhat Lrou Yrauh Nreih

The story involves a truck driver, Louis Koo, who accidentally rams a man crossing the highway during his route in the countryside. Soon he feels guilt towards the victim's wife and this eventually develops into a complicated relationship. Karen Mok, who plays his girlfriend, tries bringing him out of his complex feelings and the lure of the country life.

Although the script seems overly setup, the direction and acting compensate to make a pleasantly enjoyable film. Towards the end, the film artificially tries to add some needless drama but then again, it wouldn't be a HK movie if it doesn't.

Louis Koo is his regular charismatic self. He doesn't vary his acting too much between films but somehow fits into the many roles. You'd either love his persona or find him incredibly monotonous. Karen Mok turns in a great performance as the dedicated girlfriend who is pragmatic and caring in her own way.

The visuals and cinematography is great. It sets the viewer in those places and gives a good sense of ambience.

The movie is very enjoyable, as long as you are willing to take in a slow pace and ambience.
