Cast Member: Carina Lau

A zippy, expertly performed romantic comedy with an abundance of style and quality, ‘La Brassiere’ is a pleasant surprise.

Entertaining in parts with a game cast on good form but frustratingly uneven and unsatisfying a film as a whole, ‘Let the Bullets Fly’ lays on the political subtext but forgets to have fun with it.

If nothing else, this film goes to show how a lack of good material can sometimes be covered over by an excellent cast.

‘Naughty Boys’ should only be viewed for one reason – the action. All other aspects of the film fall flat on their face.

‘Now You See Love… Now You Don’t’ is engrossing and eventually quite touching.

It was impossible to match the original classic, but Chan pulled out all of the stops to make sure he gave it his best.

‘Rose, Rose I Love You’ is less of a straight lampoon of 60s Hong Kong cinema and more of a genuine attempt to harness the spiritedness of the original.

With a startling visual style and innovative action aplenty, ‘Saviour Of The Soul’ ranks among the very best of the Hong Kong fantasy genre.

A simple and fast moving story about a tough female cops, is told with style, if not great direction, by Yuen Kwai.

‘Carry on Wuxia’ it may be, but in execution and energy ‘The Eagle Shooting Heroes’ is the most polished in-joke ever made.

Finally arriving after those teaser trailers taunted us with big-budget rampaging robot action, ‘Warriors of Future’ may not quite live up to its barmy high concept, but it gives it a good go.

‘Young Detective Dee: Rise Of The Sea Dragon’ is involving fare with enough action and impetus to distract the most critical eye.
