I found out about this movie on the internet - it looked good -Shannon Lee, a Golden Harvest Production,Benny the Jet as the bad guy, directed by the same guy that did the action scenes in Romeo Must Die, so hell I'll give it a go. Well, to put it mildly, this is a very disappointing film - first off it is dubbed and the dubbing and overall sound are terrible. Secondly, Shannon Lee copies many of her fathers trademark moves, and other actions from his movies - i.e. ripping of hair into hand a'la Chuck Norris fight scene from 'Way'. Even the action is poorly done - it is way too fast, so you cant see what the hell is going on, & the story and plot has more holes than the Titanic. The end fight scene between Lee & Urquidez is OK. Shannon Lee is better, and deserves better, than this loads of old cobblers.
... View MoreThis is a great movie for any fan of Hong Kong action movies. Asides from it's little plot, the weak drama and bits of comedy antics, the movie is action packed with gun-fighting and martial arts action. Kept me entertained from beginning until the end. I thought Shannon Lee was awesome in the movie.Having an action director like Corey Yuen is what keeps Hong Kong action going strong. This modern action film is highly recommended!!
... View MoreI don't think most of us would tend to apply the term "must-see" to action films, but I was very impressed at how good this film was and it deservedly gets the "must-see" stamp from me.Mandy played by Shannon Lee (daughter of the late and great Bruce Lee and sister of the late Brandon Lee) is recruited by Martin, a professional thief to help pull off a diamond heist at a museum for a criminal syndicate, and get rewarded handsomely for it. Little do they know that another pair of thieves (Lucy and Tommy, a pair of lovebirds), who were spurned earlier by Mandy and Martin to get in on the deal, are also planning to steal the diamond.How each pair of thieves plans out the heist is a thrill to watch. Things go awry, as Martin and Mandy unknowingly find themselves a step behind Lucy and Tommy.You'll find yourself rooting for these thieves as they find that they need each other to stay alive from the crime syndicate, who are not happy at all that the diamond is not in its hands.Action fans will not be disappointed, as there's a healthy dose of gun battles, martial arts, and hand-to-hand combat sequences.What is surprising is that, it's not just the action that carries this film, but the romance and laughs (and I don't mean your typical one-liners prevalent in action films) that sneak in.It's not easy to root for bad guys, but we get to see the human side of these thieves and the chemistry they develop.A great film and one NOT to miss!9 out of 10
... View MoreWOW! This movie is the best HK-movie I've ever seen (except for some Jackie Chan-movies). The acting is great, and Bruce Lee's daughter shows that she wants to keep the family-tradition, of great martial arts. And there's a lot of expensive action scenes. I gave it 8/10.
