| "Angry Ranger" is a very brutal action film from star director Lo Wei. I bought it because I collect Jackie Chan featured films and as Jackie produced this one it was clear for me to buy it.
The plot is nothing new: A man comes out of jail after a few years where he covered a friend of him. As he is free again he gets into trouble because of a very attractive girl who is a "slave" of a drug tycoon, so he has to manage the new situation of working in his uncle's store, building up his new life and prevent trouble and fighting with his enemies--but it doesn't work. In the end--the grand finale--you see him getting his love back somehow and killing other people, so he gets into jail again...
Pretty depressing, I guess. And that's even the whole movie. There's a lot of blood and murder, animals (in uncle's sea fruit store) get killed (for real!). I personally don't like such movies that in reality during shooting are gruesome, so that's the reason I just gave 1 star. As a good fact, I can say that the fighting of course is good. Fast und strong.
Worth to complete a Jackie Chan film collection. Worth seeing it only because of the attractive female protagonist named Jane... |
