Review
by Kozo: |
Standard
entry in the cops vs. triads genre from Benny Chan (Big
Bullet). Simon Yam is a former undercover cop who once
put away triad brother Yu Rong-Guang. After Yu gets out, he
seeks revenge and goes to great lengths to make life hell
for Simon. Among his tricks are: kidnapping Simon's girl,
framing him for murder, and generally acting smarmy. Meanwhile,
Simon develops a thing for Yu's emotionally-damaged moll (Christy
Chung).
This cop/triad thriller is a
decently done exercise, with some fine atmosphere and some
well-handled tension. However, the meat-and-potatoes of the
film is undermined by the overbearing love story between Simon
Yam and Christy Chung, who's unusually shrill in the film.
Man Wanted isn't a bad watch, but it isn't hugely special
either. Those seeking more pronounced (i.e., interesting or
entertaining) thrills will likely be disappointed. (Kozo 1996) |
