[A] smeary, chilled glimpse at just how punishing the proverbial good deed can be.

Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3/4 --
Lean, mean, and utterly compelling, Ma's beautifully paced and remarkably understated 80-minute thriller Old Stone is a Kafkaesque satire about the soul-crushing effects of bureaucracy.

Philadelphia Inquirer
Rating: 3/4 --
The litany of woes builds inexorably. Star Chen Gang plays the protagonist as the saddest of sad sacks, his eyes filling with hopelessness as his burdens bury him.

Seattle Times
3 stars out of 4 -- Writer/director Ma handles the conundrums with brisk assurance, shooting the drama with a documentary realism that he punctuates with enigmatic views of forests undulating in the wind.

Though the film's story is simple, and its conclusion even predictable, it has many shots that capture the beauty of working-class spaces and mass-produced objects.

Product Description:
A hardworking cab driver (Chen Gang) fights back against an unfair bureaucracy when he is stuck with the medical bills of an injured man he took to the hospital. But the further he delves into the legal corruption surrounding the case, the more maddening his situation becomes. Johnny Ma wrote and directed this thriller.
