| The police, led by Inspector K K Lee (Melvin Wong) seeks a limping man for a murder on the streets of Hong Kong. The connection is former cop and partner to KK Lee, Fan Kun (Stanley Fung) who is desperate to raise money for his sick son...
With some stylish point of view shots for a production such as this during the opening, director Ang Saan provides an assured hand to the almost straight proceedings. The desperation of Fan Kun and the drama connecting his character to KK Lee, it is done according to formulaic expectations so assured hand doesn't mean anything more than fair. But stable Hong Kong cinema, infused with a good sense of providing gritty violence, it gets you places of acceptance on the small scale. Also with Margaret Lee as the love interest of Fan Kun's character and her body double to raise the gratuitous nudity factor for no valid reason whatsoever. |
