Highly Overrated But Still Good
... View MoreThis movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
... View MoreA film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
... View MoreOne of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
... View More"Bullets of Love" is a mindless action/drama out of Hong Kong which tells a convoluted story about a cop who falls in love with a woman who looks like the fiancee he lost in a violent assassination. A clean and stylish shoot, the film fails on story which is a far fetched conglomeration with some action at both ends and a lot of unnecessarily tedious melodrama and silly humor in the middle. The DVD I watched was 70% spoken Chinese with subtitles and 30% English. Hokey stuff with more loose ends than a barbershop floor. Extreme nonsense for Chinese couch potatoes only. (C)
... View MoreSolid, violent thriller starring Leon Lai, who plays a cop whose wife is assassinated in retaliation for his arresting Night', a dangerous mob boss. He quits and starts a quiet life on a scenic island, but when a mysterious Japanese girl who resembles his dead missus appears on the scene he finds love again. His peace is shattered when Night is released from jail and seeks revenge! Cue a bloody and tragic finale.OK, it's a touch melodramatic, and you can tell there isn't going to be a fairytale ending, but this is an enjoyable romantic thriller that looks great and is well worth watching. Lai is always good value and Asaka Seto is a beautiful and enigmatic actress. Recommended.
... View MoreIt's very good if Japan and Hong Kong is collaborated together, the two country can produce good movie with typical of Japan and Hong Kong.I like this movie, what I very like is the action. Japan actress is a sweet woman with a beautiful body (not like Hong Kong actress), and Leon as usual still same (good player in love story).Even the story is sad ending, but it's really make me like it. They are really like in love. beside when she kick the bad guy is the best part from this movie, and when after she shoot the bad guy she said "I am A Xi". Wow I should say BRAVO for her, she really like a killer.But Hong Kong always made the first time is boring.
... View MoreA classic Asian romance story where the most beautiful love relationships, just as flowers who were on the brink of blooming, can never fully open up and prosper peacefully. Even though I saw the plot twist coming from miles away, I couldn't bring myself to believe it; this movie is very intense and the emotion maelstrom continuously raging throughout the film finally explodes in the end into one of the most powerful moments since books I've read from Hugo. I might still be under the movie's spell, but I really did find the main characters extremely well developed and I really felt for each of them; I recommend this movie to fans of 'true' romantic love stories with some punches and a few gun shots. Movies like these prove to me that the best movies often don't come out of Hollywood.
