The
Skinny: |
Entertaining
and average action romance featuring milestone histrionics from
Simon Yam. The cast might make the film a worthwhile timekiller,
but the movie is far from a classic. |

Review
by Kozo: |
Average
Hong Kong triad action-romance stars Simon Yam as a tough triad
boss who decides to go straight when he meets the right woman (Cecilia
Yip). Sadly, she owes tons of money to evil loan sharks and thus
begins the pain. Yes, said evil loan sharks come after her and IT
ALL GOES TO HELL. Roy Cheung eschews his normal evil triad routine
for a supporting role as Simon's honorable triad lieutenant.
This is a decent Hong Kong flick with some
gripping moments but also some absolutely boring ones. The acting
helps, as Simon Yam and Cecilia Yip imbue their performances with
far more dignity than a film of this caliber deserves. Special mention
must be given to Yam, who goes postal with his acting in the film's
final moments. Awards are questionable, but his histrionics are
apparently so powerful that they can actually work miracles! Sometimes
laughably melodramatic, this flick can provide an ok - but not great
- time. (Kozo 1996) |
