Arrest The Restless (see film details)
Mystery / Crime

During the era of the "Teddy Boys," Leslie Cheung and co. must prove their awesomeness and fight against rival gangs. However, the bad action scenes (veeeeryyyy fake-looking) plus a boring movie bring this one down.

Iron Angels (see film details)
Action/Adventure / Crime

If you crave 80's-style action, you could do worse. While not on the level of the "In The Line Of Duty" series, this is still a pretty decent watch. It reminded me of a time when action films were done well.

Loving You (see film details)
Drama / Romance

Explosive action, combined with a head-bashing climax and a gut-wrenching finale...

...will sadly not be found in this film. What did you think?

Both Lau Ching-Wan and Carmen Lee prove to be amazing actors, in what could have been a decent film, but is damaged by rather boring storytelling. Also, the way the movie is filmed gives off this rather made-for-TV style. Overall, a little less-than-decent at best.

The Incorruptible (see film details)
Crime / Drama

Ray Lui must do all he can to stop the corruption that surrounds him. He also must do it in the dark, because there are scenes that are just hard to see in the film. What's worse is that it is really boring. Ray Lui must have forseen this because he goes on to star in "Flash Point". Sweet.

Running On Karma (see film details)
Drama

Andy Lau's butt: if you find it uncomfortable to see that, then I would not recommend seeing this film.

It's like a mix of fantasy, Buddhism, and romance mixed into one film. Not a crime-thriller of the usual Johnnie To style, and personally, I did not find it too good.

Don't Fool Me (see film details)
Comedy / Action/Adventure

What do you get when a gangster and an insurance salesman switch roles? Apparently a whole lotta' zaniness!

The pre-IA pairing of Andy Lau and Tony Leung works, but there are parts that are boring and hard to get through, but overall, a decent night's watch.

Shanghai Grand (see film details)
Drama / Crime

This film has some pretty exciting action scenes. However, when it's not in thrill-a-moment times, it feels really dull and boring as they jabber on about things that'd make me dowsy if I tried to explain to you.

The more of Tsui Hark I see, the less I want to see of his work. And he used to be someone's work whom I wanted to see when I was younger. Alas.

The Suspect [1998] (see film details)
Bullet Ballet / Action/Adventure

It's time for more gritty action, Ringo Lam style! While it doesn't have the grit of say, "Full Contact" or "Full Alert", this is still a pretty good film. And the more I see of Julian Cheung, the more films I want to check out of his.

Police Confidential (see film details)
Drama / Thriller

The Mandarin dubbing [on the version I watched] really brought the feel of the film down. Also, it was a little boring as not a whole lot happens during the whole of the film. Overall, a miss.

A True Mob Story (see film details)
Triad / Drama

Not a bad film. I was surprised this was from director Wong Jing, as there wasn't the usual goofy antics. Pretty good film.

Undeclared War (see film details)
Bullet Ballet / Action/Adventure

This film is not too good, but not too bad either. The action scenes are decent, but not quite up to HK Ringo Lam films. Overall, a little too slow-moving, and seriously, what's up with the red mist when people get shot?

Drunken Master 2 (see film details)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

Jackie Chan gets drunk and fights for his life!

Having watched what was supposed to be the be-all end-all of JC flicks, I'd have to say it was okay-ish at best. I found his drunken antics a little bit too over-the-top.

Overall, a decent watch.

The Case Of The Cold Fish (see film details)
Mystery / Drama

If the teaming of Michael Wong and Michael Chow has ever been your dream, then this film is one to check out.

It has some funny parts, but overall, it was rather boring all in all.

True Hero (see film details)
Crime / Drama

Simon Yam takes a break from being a triad to becoming a geeky prof. This film however focuses more on a kid, while I focused more on the number of minutes remaining in the movie.

The Mission [1999] (see film details)
Bullet Ballet / Crime

This film has a lot of style to spare. It's got a lot of gun action, but with it, a lot of cool posing.

Not for all action junkies.

First Shot (see film details)
Crime / Action/Adventure

If you like cop films of the hard-hitting Golden Age of HK, then this is one to check out. They just don't make them like this anymore.

Brotherhood [1986] (see film details)
Action/Adventure

This Danny Lee film finds Danny Lee stuck between upholding the law and helping his friend.

You'll be wondering whether to fast-forward or just pop out the DVD altogether. When the movie isn't being boring, it is hard to see where they are in the dark, and it'll make you squint your eyes.

On The Run (see film details)
Action/Adventure / Crime

If you wish for the days of gritty, hard-hitting films, then this is definitely one to consider! From beginning to end, there is a gloom that hangs over this film, but it is so well done in this action thriller, that it works!

Road Warriors (see film details)
Action/Adventure / Crime

"If you've seen one Danny Lee film, then you've seen 'em all" goes the saying, and this doesn't change that. Danny Lee becomes a traffic cop, and runs amok of a speeder. Whoop de doo!

Full Throttle [1995] (see film details)
Drama / Art

If you're looking for wall-to-wall racing, then check out "Legend of Speed." But if you're looking for a racing film which focuses more on the personal lives of the characters, then this is a pretty decent film. Not a bad film per se, but overall, it was pretty "meh."
