Director: Donnie Yen

Written by the hugely informative Bey Logan, ‘Ballistic Kiss’ is an interesting premise let down by budget restrictions and time restraints.

The plot definitely leaves a lot to be desired but I’d say the final fight is worth the admission price alone.

‘Protégé De La Rose Noire’ is an extremely exaggerated and silly comedy that really failed to tickle any part of my funny bone.

A mix of historical drama, romantic melodrama, and frantic wuxia superhero charged action, Yen and his crew certainly go all out to create an epic and kudos to their ambition.

The action lacks any spark or excitement and the narrative fails to grab onto the viewer in the slightest.

The film never really surprises or grabs in the story department, twists and turns sign posted a mile off. But the pace, action and overall energy make up for any shortcomings plot wise.

Despite what flaws ‘The Twins Effect’ has, it never actually suffers as a result of them as it always retains the viewers interest and successfully juggles comedy, action and horror.
