DVD REVIEW:
I must admit that I
wasn't expecting too much from this movie because the DVD was
released by a company I never heard of. One of the reasons I purchased
it is because a lot of movies starring William So are pretty good
and also the cheap price of the DVD.
The movie was better
than I expected. But it ranks high up with other HK movies like
"True Love" where the movie has you interested in the
characters and the storyline then suddenly near the end, the director
just wants to crush any happy emotions that you may have.
The movie about four
cops who are too preoccupied with work, women, friends or something
in their lives and not the people close to them. So, you will
have to experience several messed up situations that only you
will see in HK movies. A depressing ending! And I'll leave it
at that.
The movie does have
some problems in certain areas, such as the car scenes and certain
editing in a few parts but all in all for what I'm guessing what
was a low budget movie, the movie was not bad.
Unfortunately, with
the lack of special features of any kind and the lack of removable
subtitles gives this DVD a bad rating as a DVD. Even the older
movies at least included a trailer or cast info.
So, a story that will
make you laugh, smile until the final 15 minutes where your emotions
will go astray and you will leave the movie feeling depressed.
Don't let the cover of the DVD fool you. Everyone is smiling but
trust me, the ending of the movie doesn't give you a reason to
smile after you cried a tonful because of the unfortunate things
that happen to certain characters. As for the DVD...Well, you
do get what you pay for.
