Cold War

2000

Director: Bryan Leung

Stars: Simon Yam, Christy Chung

This movie is a bit of a mixed bag -- there's some stylish gunplay and Simon Yam gives a good performance. On the other hand, we've seen this "killer becomes a target by his former employers" many times before and this movie adds really nothing to it. Things might have been helped if the movie moved at a faster pace. The whole second act (about the middle hour of the movie) just drags and almost kills the film until the finale rescues things somewhat.

RATING: 5
