The
Skinny: |
Entertaining
but unnecessary triad drama that proves largely forgettable. |

Review
by Kozo: |
This
typical triad flick has some decent “heroic triad” plot twists,
but ultimately suffers from a total lack of purpose. Louis
Koo and Michael Tse are buddies who join a triad society led
by Tsui Kam-Kong (in an effective comedic performance). Along
the way they clash with various evil triads (Lam Kwok-Bun,
Simon Lui Yu-Yeung), as well as romance a couple of ladies
(Gigi Lai and Teresa Mak).
All things considered, there really
isn’t a reason for the entire film’s plot - of which there
practically is none. This is an entertaining film, but why
should we watch it? The females in this film are wasted. I
felt for Gigi Lai and Teresa Mak - used and abused. Michael
Tse is all right, but he does nothing new. Only Tsui Kam-Kong
and Louis Koo come off looking good. Koo, in particular, has
a striking screen presence. Hopefully he’ll get better work
someday. (Kozo 1996) |
