| Another attempt to merge Hollywood with Hong Kong and with it they get one crucial thing right at least. The movie doesn't offer anything bearable in the story or dialoguedepartment (except a few scenes featuring Paul Chun) but instead focuses on something Tong knows better, action. The opening 30 minutes promises more than we actually get but what's in here is thrilling stuff. Even though the performers are aided by wires, they do adequate work, especially Aaron. Some parts of the wirework isn't performed as smoothly and one bike stunt at the end really generates laughter instead of amazement. Still, Tong and his crew delivers and that's not something we're used to in todays Hong Kong action cinema. Deltamac's dvd houses the full uncut version. |
