Credit star Michelle Chen for playing it with a straight face. Her performance alone prevents this from fully degenerating into the Lindsay Lohan vehicle it otherwise is. Apr 29, 2016 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The lack of a strong inner conflict or neurosis for Lily ... makes the resolution of "Pali Road" prosaic, a lost opportunity. Apr 29, 2016 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

As a travelogue for the green-and-blue lushness of the Aloha State, "Pali Road" has its postcard appeal, but for fans of love stories that split the mind and agitate the heart, this one is postcard-thin as well. Apr 28, 2016 | Full Review…

A lot of the weight of selling the story falls on Ms. Chen, and she's not entirely up to the challenge, but Mr. Lim is able to build suspense anyway. Apr 28, 2016 | Full Review…

"Pali Road" has pretty low expectations of its audience. It ought to be light on its feet, but it lumbers. Apr 28, 2016 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

Adding to the appeal is the ability of [director] Lim and cinematographer Quyen Tran to make the Hawaiian landscape seem both beautiful and threatening, an element rarely seen in Hollywood's picture-postcard portrayals of the islands. Apr 28, 2016 | Rating: 3.5/5

The unearthly beauty of Hawaii provides the sole reason to even think of looking at this absolute mess of a psychological thriller. May 9, 2016 | Full Review…

... employs a heavy-handed approach for an overwrought script that takes itself way too seriously before the ending really flies off the rails. Apr 29, 2016 | Full Review…

We get the Chinese exports that are huge blockbusters, but there's clearly a market for a slight, romantic mystery that in the United States would air on the Lifetime channel. Apr 29, 2016 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Damn if Jonathan Hua Lang Lim's Pali Road isn't hardcore Lifetime material. That's a compliment, because those can be good, pulpy fun. Apr 27, 2016 | Full Review…

Chen's full-bodied commitment to her role adds something new to this familiar scenario, which also benefits from its idyllic island setting; psychodrama and Hawaii pair surprisingly well. Apr 27, 2016 | Full Review…
