Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

John Woo made this fluffy family film during his Cinema City days. Bin-Bin and Songwriter Teddy Robin Kwan play two street urchins who meet up with a sad and lonely rich kid (Bin-Bin). They become friends when the kid's shady uncle mistaken them for his nephew. There's some funny dialog in the film when Teddy matches wits with the Uncle. Tsui Hark makes a guest star appearance as Bin-Bin's Grandfather. Harmless sugary fun from the pen of Raymond Wong and the lens of John Woo. Teddy Robin Kwan wrote and performed the title song "Run Tiger Run"Recommended for John Woo fans.B
