‘Kill Bill: Volume 1’ is a great tribute to Asian action cinema that mixes Tarantino’s stylised violence with some top Yuen Woo-Ping choreography.

On its release ‘Kill Bill: Volume 1’ was Tarantino’s weakest film. Now that honour goes to ‘Kill Bill: Volume 2’.

Slick, stylish and stuffed with a surfeit of violent fight action, ‘Kill Boksoon’ is a superb tale of stylised action and a protagonist attempting to leave their violent profession behind.

Almost non-existent scripting and farcical characters that fail to provide the film with the necessary substance.

‘Kung Fu Killer’, despite its B-movie title and the odd moment of cheesiness, comes very close to bringing back the elation one felt when watching golden era Hong Kong action cinema.

Interest is created in ‘Lady Cop & Papa Crook’ by its style and verve, yet the story and characters are successful in doing the opposite.

This is Brigitte Lin’s movie and her climactic tirade against her husband, bursting with anger and confusion lingers as one of her finest screen moments.

This should have been some silly, slick fun but is instead just a slog with far too much exposition and unnecessary melodrama clogging up proceedings.

Its brave examination of a very powerful subject deserves commendation as does its unflinching view of the effects on the family of the victim.

I can’t think of a good reason for you to part with your hard earned cash to watch this movie, especially when you can watch films for free on the internet of a similar production standard.

Not a complete disaster but by no means the showcase that Wu Jing was no doubt hoping it would be.

‘Long Arm of the Law’ falls short of its reputation but still remains solid and compelling.
