Action Member: Kenji Tanigaki

While ‘Glass Tears’ is a solid debut for Carol Lai, it has a few signs of directorial immaturity within it.

Colourful, comic booked tinged ninja tale, ‘Kamui’ is a fun sword swishing time that packs in action, drama and some striking scenery.

‘Legend Of The Fist’ is a film that promises so much but delivers far less, especially considering this is a collaboration between Donnie Yen and Andrew Lau.

After a surge of period and fantasy styled films, Donnie Yen returns to modern day cop action territory in the somewhat schlocky but no less entertaining ‘Special ID’.

With some excellent, grounded choreography and a number of allusions to genre legends this is a mature martial arts film that respects its roots.
