Latest Review
Uneven But Competent Remake
What I loved most: Louis Koo's acting
What I really hated: Awful cartoon villains
It's competent enough, but sacrifices the original's taut pacing for additional action thrills. These thrills detract, though, because they make it all less believable. Koo and Hsu do well in the lead roles, but awful OTT acting by the villains almost turn it all into a joke.
