NOT EVEN CLOSE
|
| The plot of this film is about a group of "Chinese special forces" acting as a anti-crime unit in Hong Kong. The leader of this group goes up against Michelle Yeoh who is apparently working for the villian but turns out to be a sheep in wolfs clothing. This was supposedly an action film but somehow the action was pretty much left out. While constant action isn't needed to make a good film, the dramatic/comedic element in this film doesn't do much to sustain the viewer either. While it did have some obviously talented performers in it, the viewer spends most of their time waiting for something to happen, and when it does, it's more smoke than fire. A fight scene in this film might have 2 or 3 kicks thrown and then it's over. The abundant talents of Michelle Yeoh and Xin Xin Xiong are utterly squaundered in this film; both are very formidable on the screen but neither get a chance to really demonstrate their skills (although Michelle looked more attractive than usual in the designer clothers she was wearing). Still, just remember that not much happens in this film in regards to fights involving the great skill and imagination that Hong Kong Cinema is generally known for. If you want to see Michelle Yeoh in a good film, "Royal Warriors", "The T'ai Chi Master," "Yes Madam," or "Wing Chun," just to name a few. Xin Xin Xiong was excellent in "The Blade," and "Once Upon a Time in China IV." |
