Quick Takes:Hard Touching
All Content Used With Permission.
A direct to video release from Danny Lee's production company Magnum, Hard Touching definitely does reek of your age old cop soap drama, with just a hint of more gory violence added. Many genre bound clichés are recycled including the opening reel with personal death in the family for the main character, a supremely evil villain and the crazy girl bound for redemption at the hands of our supercop (played rather confidently by Alex Fong). Imbedding a message about Hong Kong cops in need to shape up, director Cheng Ming invests in forced style throughout (smoke and titled angles) but somehow makes the short running time feel less like a punishment as we move on. It's very much on par with a cheap 35 mm production and Cheng does deliver violence that ranks up there with one such. That's not an actual reason to approach the film however. Also appearing is Joey Man and Patrick Hon.
