 | | In other places Ching Siu-Ting has been credited as CO-director which is not illogical since he did action direct this fan favourite. Starring three of Hong Kong cinemas most gorgeous women (Anita Mui, Michelle Yeoh and Maggie Cheung), this one won't have you looking at the clock. Filled with wire enhanced action, gory imagery, a flying guillotine and battling babes but I do have to say that The Heroic Trio isn't as amazing as the reputation may suggest. Johnnie To injects well meaning but ultimately misplaced emotional weight to a story that isn't anything more than basic and Ching Siu-Tung's choreography, while entertaining to watch, does comes off as too edited for my liking. Set design however is a notch above your average Hong Kong action production and Anthony Wong steals every scene he's in. In other words, there's enough here to like. | | AGREE? | READER COMMENTS | AUTHOR | | N | i think the film is awesome and we forget that Johnnie To directed this film and he did part 2 which i have in my collection, i was into in from begining to end. people should watch part 2 of this film, and i know many people didn't like it but still good | KW9784 |
