Messy
action comedy gives stars Patrick Tam and Shu Qi enough to

seem wasted. |

Review
by Kozo: |
This commercial action comedy has its moments, but collapses
in a morass of Mission: Impossible antics and cheesy
action escapades. Patrick Tam is Jim Si-Bon (as in James Bond),
a wacky commercial director who spies his true love Julia
(Shu Qi) when she’s getting into a car with Alex (Ken Wong).
Unbeknownst to Bon, Julia is a spy for a hi-tech criminal
organization led by Jackson Lau. She was brought in when she
was only a child, and longs to become a normal woman with
a normal life. Enter all sorts of wacky circumstances including
new partner Candy (Taiwanese sensation Tin Sum), Bon’s increasing
infatuation, and a new assignment.
James Yuen wrote and directed this
mist, and at least it’s better produced than his last film
Red Rain. There are some fun moments between the actors.
Patrick Tam shows a surprisingly playful comic side, and Shu
Qi is always fun to watch. Tin Sum is a delight as well, considering
that all she’s doing is playing off her buxom figure. Still,
when all is said and done, there just isn’t that much going
on in this movie. It’s just a string of wacky situations and
Three’s Company style humor without enough charm or
suspense to tie the whole thing together. Also, how we can
enjoy watching Bon and pals (Michael Tse and Leung Wing-Chung)
stalk our heroines by installing spy cameras is beyond me.
