 The Avenging Eagle (product link)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure
Ti Lung might have gotten tired of hearing how good he was in just about any part he was cast in, but I must say it again: Ti Lung is so good as Chi Ming Sing, a man torn between conscience and survival.
As for Fu Sheng, he shows real depth as Cheux Yi Fan, always keeping us off balance as to what his character has on his mind. Although Fu plays a few light moments, there is a burning behind his eyes that surprised me. Of course, he is just amazing to watch regardless of inner demons.
And Ku Feng--what a versatile great actor--is of course perfectly cast as Yo Si Hung. Wang Lung Wei is there too with a consistent solid performance and skills that probably get overlooked because of Ti Lung and other stars that he worked with.
Directed by Sun Chung, "Avenging Eagle" flies by its 92 minutes with great action, engaging drama, and moments of beauty. Great script by Ni Kuang. |
