Once
you see the cover of the DVD, there is no longer any

to see it anyway. |

Review
by Kozo: |
This low-budget cop thriller looks like it may have
a decent potboiler plot, but that feeling soon disappears.
Patrick Tam stars as a shady bisexual cop who meets
an old flame (Anita Chan) right before she gets targeted
for a rub out. What makes this movie such a joke is
the identity of the killer. Not only is it easy to figure
out, but Universe Laser put the killer's identity ON
THE DVD COVER ART. After that wonderful spoiler, it
doesn't even matter that implausibilities start to pile
up. Patrick Tam could have a good career playing run-down
cops (he’s convincingly rumpled), but this is not the
film to test out the waters. Lots of bad stuff happens
in this flick and no one is really spared. But do we
care? A few years ago, this stuff starred Simon Yam
and Loletta Lee. Now it’s Patrick Tam and Pinky Cheung.
Lovely. (Kozo 2000) |
