The idea of an introspective love story may not sound too appealing, but this is the kind of film that truly rewards the patient viewer.

Each of the protagonists has their own trial to overcome, each has a solid character arc, and each contributes to the infectious enthusiasm created herein.

‘The Mad Phoenix’ has moments that offer the kind of promise that make the finished product all the more disappointing.

More than workmanlike though never content with just being another sports film, ‘Weeds On Fire’ is an encouraging sign of life in Hong Kong cinema.
