Review
by Kozo: |
A solid action picture that hits the ground running and never really
lets up. Pretty but deadly Jade Leung is a novice policewoman who
helps collar a vicious bad guy with the help of a wimpy pimp (Jordan
Chan). However, said bad guy escapes and kills her uncle. Bent on
gaining revenge, she travels to Mainland China to catch the perp
with the reluctant Jordan in tow.
In retaliation, Jordan spends most of his
energy trying to escape his pint-size captor. Stephen Tung's film
is one long chase, with Jade chasing Jordan, the two of them chasing
the bad guy, the bad guy chasing them, and finally Yu Rong-Guang
(as the nice mainland cop) chasing everyone.
Amazingly, the film isn’t weighed down
too much by its sentimentality, a problem with most HK action flicks.
It moves along at the perfect pace and uses its excellent action
sequences to sell itself. Stephen Tung is one terrific gun fight
choreographer; you can tell that this is the guy who gave us the
insane gunplay from Pom Pom and Hot Hot. An unheralded, but
entertaining action movie. (Kozo 1996) |
