Malaysia is not using this movie poster since i think it's too daring d...
Not that I wanna challenge with Trevor on writing movie review (cos i know i'm not good at writing one), but just that he said he isn't interested in this movie so.. i try make my hand dirty as in i can write a review on this movie. :P
It was come to my knowledge about this movie from Kat cos her idol Eason who is one of the big cast in this movie.
but if you ask me why i choose to watch this movie, i would say I would wanna see what impact would all the big cast in the movie have with this movie when they are all place in one movie.
It's about a movie on corruption of cops in HK back in the 1960s-70s. How HK from a totally corrupted society to become one of the least corruption place (i put place cos HK is no longer a country) in the world.
I like the the acronym of this movie... when it was first shown... everyone in the cinema laugh.. macam tu pun boleh?? but i really admire people who can have such creative thinking
I always like the movie by antony wong 黄秋生 . He is a very good actor no matter how bad overall the movie is. another point to mention is all the bad words (粗口) which was in the dialog was not censor... congrats to Malaysia censorship board.. you have taken one big step ahead.. cos if you image you watching a movie and the actor was talking like... 'your XXX XXX XXX' and the XXX XXX XXX was keep on being replace by the sound dut dut dut.. how irritating is that? and some yellow line (黄色笑话) which his said to bring out the character of 火麒麟.
overall the movie is a nice one if you wanna see big cast (antony wong, tony leung ka fai, eason chan, bowie lam, fong lek sang)and wanna have some good laugh.
but on the sad side despite all the big cast, the director fail to bring out what is the message that he wanna spread over (at least to me) or if he wants the message is very weak and the impact is not big.
It is something you can watch if you still have faith in HK movie and wanna see a big cast HK movie
Overall Rating
Cast: *****
Movie: **1/2
Satisfaction after watching: ***
Value for money: **1/2
p/s: something which bother me much is when i first step into the cinema i saw a not too much of an uncle but a elder guy putting his leg on the seat in front of him with his shoe off like the cinema was open by his father / grand father. come on please la.. give a little bit of respect towards others who watch in the same cinema as you. I would say.. sia sui ar... :P
