| This is the kind of film that gives the anti-freemarket crowd ammunition."See!" They screech (they tend to screech). "This is yet another example of market failure. The funding for this film was obviously wasted. This money could have been used in positive ways!" I will not take the time to point out all the logical flaws in this argument here. Economic scholars, particularly of the Austrian School, have exposed the fallacies involved. However, I would like to amen the one logical point implied in the above that is, without a doubt, correct. This is a bad movie.
I say that with a bit of damaged pride. I have to admit that I purchased this film in the DVD format! Yes, yes I know! Why couldn't I have seen the warning signs! Such as the curious lack of Stephen Chow, and the glaring inclusion of Jo Ma. Why did I not see! Take heart, friends. Out of this truly evil event good will come. For now you are now warned of the suffocating terror that is LOVE UNDERCOVER: 2!
Was it really that bad? Absolutely! To be fair, I did grin a time or two, but my face was screwed up in a rictous of horror for the remainder of the time. It's just not funny. Kuen's failures are so unfunny that the "so stupid it was funny" designation cannot be applied here. Kuen lives with her boyfriend and his father who is an ex-mobster and thinks that Kuen quit the police to work at a beauty salon. Not funny. Convoluted and frustrating? Yes. Funny? No.
The failure at comedy must not have been good enough for the movie crew. They had to go and even botch the production quality. Where was the cinematography here? It looks made for TV. They didn't even to bother shooting the guns in this movie! Oh sure, guns were jostled in mock "kick" action, but the muzzle flashes were obviously added post production! It's not even convincing!
Love Undercover 2. How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways. Bad acting. Bad cinematography. Bad special effects. Bad comedy. Bad plot. Do not waste your hard earned cash!
By the way, I understand that making a movie requires a lot of effort. I also understand that there are a million places where a movie can go wrong. But I cannot let sympathy for the cast and crew of this film deter me from warning those who may contemplate watching this film! Lives are at stake here buddy! |
