I thought both were alright. The acting was a bit uneven at times. But it wasn't that bad. I thought some of the fighting scenes were actually very harrowing to watch.
"The Days" is a story of two brothers who get involved in Gangs and Secret Societies. I liked the supporting actors: Tauper (Kevin Tan) and Dog (Derrick K.)... I thought they had screen presence. They didn't say or do much - but when they came on screen - I just liked watching them.
The main lead - Taizi (Justin Chan) - did alright- but he could do with perhaps a bit more intensity in his performance.
Certain Chapters: is an Indian short film about Indian gangsters. The male rape scene at the start was pretty gruesome to watch. The actor who played the Gang Boss had great personality (and great lines) and did a fine job with his dialogue. It could have done with better editing however.

Try 15. It's Royston Tan's expose on teen gangsters with the characters played by themselves.
Re 15 - pity about the glam ala Moulin Rouge direction employed by Royston. If you can stand a bunch of S'porean pie-kia singing\rapping and dancing with added 80s era music video effects, then 15 is the movie you'll enjoy.
Hey YM, did u watch the 2 movies in OldSchool?
Yeah, I did Richie. I also bought the dvds for Kelvin Tong's 1942(horror), Remember Chek Jawa, Utama, and Perth. Have you got "The Days" ?
