Review
by Kozo: |
This crime caper from D&B Studios is a HK version of The
Thomas Crown Affair starring Michelle Yeoh as a rich businesswoman
who concocts elaborate heists simply for the fun of it. She
rips of the HK Jockey Club, setting amoral police captain
Kent Cheng on her tail. Following is George Lam as an insurance
investigator, who finds himself attracted to the wily and
winsome Yeoh.
This film proves pretty entertaining
in the first half as we witness the heist. However, after
the initial investigation begins, the film snowballs downhill
underneath large implausibilites and tedious interludes. Eventually,
Michelle turns out to be a “good” thief, which doesn’t really
do much for the film. Only for the diehard Michelle Yeoh fan
or the Thomas Crown completist. (Kozo 1997) |
