| The final entry in Yuen Wo Ping's "Tiger Cage" action series, this is a bleak and vicious tale of love, betrayal, greed, corruption, and intrigue. Suki (impossibly sexy Cheung Man) is a smart and cunning business woman on the fast track to wealth and success. She serves as an assistant to the vile and nasty corporate slimeball, Mr. Lee. Her boyfriend is the naive but ever faithful James (Cheung Kwok Leung), who is an inspector on the police force along with his selfish and greedy partner, John (Michael Wong). John decides to eavesdrop on a business meeting of Mr. Lee's and gets some incriminating evidence along with some great insider trading tips. However, the deal goes sour, leaving lots of people dead. John ends up bankrupt and accused of extortion, Suki is kidnapped and exploited by Mr. Lee, and James is badly burned and left for dead trying to rescue her. Mr. Lee presses Suki into "business" with him and she quietly accepts her fate by laying low and sleeping with the enemy. The final third of the film is a wild flurry of vengeance, with each of the main characters playing out their own vendetta. Unfortunately, this backfires and there's no happy ending in sight for anyone. |
