646f9e108c As a crime wave sweeps through Hong Kong, the police call on Jessica Yang, a rising star in their ranks, to help stop a notorious gang of thieves. Firstly, the script kicks ass! It&#39;s a local story, authentic dialogs, fast paced, straight forward and realistic, yet entertaining. Most of all, it got lots of authentic local cultures in it and it stands out. (Plz don&#39;t make movies just for the foreigners markets, draw foreign markets with your local culture - remember the success of Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Mr. Vampire series, &amp; recently Pang Brothers movies???!!!)<br/><br/>What stands out is the time frame of the storyline is longer than most movies out there in the same genre and yet you don&#39;t feel bored or awkward. All the actors and actresses&#39; performances&#39; are so natural and believable. Don&#39;t know why, but it makes it so much relaxing to watch. Even the cameos all ditched in and made the movie better bit by bit.<br/><br/>Thirdly, the director is very smart in the sense that he acknowledged that he didn&#39;t have the luxury of getting the support from Jackie Chan&#39;s stuntmen group. Thus, you can&#39;t stuff the whole movie with those crazy stunts. Instead, he created a lot of exciting action scenes from various authentic settings - shoot em all scene from the worn down factory building, the underground banking, and the HK underground subway systems.<br/><br/>It&#39;s jam packed with action, drama, terrific fight scenes. In all it&#39;s a great movie because everyone in the movie knows what they&#39;re doing and did very well. It may not have the Hollywood production $$$ but definitely more entertaining than their recycled story lines &amp; movie stars. It&#39;s a celebration of HK movie during the 90s era! <br/><br/>Top notch real S!#$% hk police action crime movie!!! 9/10!!! A must see! Go rent it today!!! (I bet Banlieue 13 stole some ideas from movies like this one =) Crediting Jacky in this film at all was probably just a PR stunt. He&#39;s only in one scene, and that looksthough it was pulled from another film. To top it all off, he&#39;s in drag (personally, I liked the Chun Li Jacky from City Hunter better…). That being said, if you didn&#39;t know that when you rented the film, you probably haven&#39;t seen the poster. This is a typical Michelle Yeoh film: great Kung Fu/acrobatics/stunts, high melodrama, and a plot that falls apart in the last 20 minutes of the piece.
Are you a critical movie viewer?No I am not. Like everything film industry should have their own limitations. So what is the thing that we criticize while watching a movie? So that I always like every kinds of movies click here
