Quick Takes:The Avenging Quartet
All Content Used With Permission.
Kickass poster art, the uniting of fighting, shooting females Moon Lee, Cynthia Khan, Yukari Oshima and Nishiwaki Michiko sets up potentially classic material but in the end The Avenging Quartet ranks as one of the most forgettable that came out of the genre-boom. To his credit, director Stanley Siu doesn't seem to possess the worst eye for visuals and story driven cinema. He does grow tired of trying eventually and just mixes up action and useless comedy (co-star Chin Ka-Lok as wacky cop being responsible for that tangent) that sacrifices the actual small story at hand. Saving grace would've of course been action of the highest order but without much flow or excitement, what seems to be a lot going in is in fact very little and standard. An attention grabbing violent and gory final reel doesn't make the last parts of the film boring but they don't mean anything on any level.
