Not bad

[Leofwine_draca · 6/10 · 24 January 2023]

Another low budget directorial offering from Wang Chung, the former Shaw star who had a second life making a series of cheap but interesting films in various genres. This one's yet another cop movie starring Danny Lee, but at least he plays something slightly different here. Complete with a perm and '80s tracksuit fashions, he's an unserious womanising cop who gets caught up in the case of a woman being stalked by her abusive ex. This one has less action and takes more time to develop the narrative than some, but there are solid stunts and a car chase along the way. Chung himself co-stars as another cop, while there's gender humour arising from encounters with their female boss. Not bad, as it happens.

Poor cop comedy/action film

[dbborroughs · 3/10 · 11 November 2008]

Stupid cop comedy about two hot shot guys who are assigned to the "action squad" of the police force.They are would be romeos and they are uneasy about the woman assigned to be their boss.

Vanity project for one of the stars (he also directed) who I never heard of, this is a badly made movie with bad "jokes", poor action sequences(its all the same fights and chases over and over again) and only the desire to show how cool and cute the star/director is. It looks more like the home home movie of a couple of cocky kids making a movie to show off for the neighbors. If it was funny or had anything approaching real action it might have worked, but its all posturing and rather dull A perfect example of poor film-making.
