With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who appreciates a well-choreographed fight and anyone who's survived an office job. The fight choreography is a big part of the appeal. Shelve it next to Dick Tracy. Anyone who's had a job will recognize these people.
- The mood
- Gritty.
- The pace
- Wastes no time getting going, at 1 hr 32 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Chinese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1977: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.
Chang Hung, an agent who works for a rival organization, and his female partner devise an elaborate plan to take out a heroin ring led by the nefarious kingpin, Paul the Westerner.
