 Casino Raiders (product link)
Action/Adventure / Drama
"Casino Raiders" tells of two "professional gamblers": Crab (Andy Lau) and Sam (Alan Tam). We join the pair as Crab has just been released from prison. Eager to get back in the game, the pair of tricksters travel to America where they bust a scam a Japanese gang have going on at a casino. Once back in Hong-Kong, their lives become threatened when the Yakuza seek revenge for disrupting their business.
What follows is a Triad/Yakuza face off movie with a slight gambling background to it; lots of blackjack, fighting and revenge. Despite Wong Jing's involvement, the plot stays on track throughout and the screenplay is devoid of silly jokes making for a reasonably serious action movie.
Both the main leads, Andy Lau and Alan Tam give good performances adding to what is overall, a reasonable Hong Kong action casino movie. |
