Organized Crime & Triad Bureau

	Organized Crime & Triad Bureau

Director Kirk Wong set the style for the lean, edgy Hong Kong cop thriller. In this drama, special forces officer Danny Lee bends the law and suspends civil rights to track down ruthless criminal Anthony Wong (<I>Hard Boiled</I>), the leader of a notorious robbery ring, on the run with his loyal girlfriend Cecilia Yip. Lee, who performed similar duties in John Woo's <I>The Killer</I>, is driven and demanding as the passionate authority figure, a man whose selfless sense of duty teeters over into vigilantism, while Anthony Wong tones down his usual flamboyant style to play a charismatic, sensitive criminal who earns the director's sympathies. There's no John Woo bravura shootouts or stylistic frenzies in Kirk Wong's sober, sometimes too restrained approach, lacking the dramatic edge of <I>Rock and Roll Cop</I> and the punch of <I>Supercop</I>, two of his later productions. But the violence packs a wallop in its street-realist directness, and Wong knows how to stage a high-tension action set piece, as evidenced in the opening chase scene and the dynamic police-dragnet finale. What more attracts the director, however, is the inner workings of crime and punishment: the maze of the underworld hierarchy and the mechanics of crime, the contradictions that pull at the police and the bureaucratic tangle they navigate. Though there's none of the romantic gloss that Woo invests his cowboy criminals with, Kirk Wong loves to explore the dynamic that separates--and binds--cop and criminal. <I>--Sean Axmaker</I> *Viewer Reviews* This is probably one of the least known martial arts movies out there. This movie was created around the same time as THE BRIDE WITH WHITE, THE STORM RIDERS, etc..,. It is in most ways superior to them all. It has everything you could ever want in a film love, hate, little people, warlocks and witches, revenge, redemption, self sacrifice, need I say more! And it's funny too! Treat yourself to this rare hong kong delight! Jackie who? Back To Top
