An Exercise In Nonsense

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

(Warning: I reveal a great deal of story because the VCD box gave a great deal away) Hong Kong action film about a cop, Sam, who arrests a powerful crime lord and what happens in the wake of that event. Following the arrest Sam's girl friend prosecutes him but only gets a partial conviction. With the villain sent away for a short time, and vowing revenge, the couple heads off to Paris where an assassin awaits. The girlfriend is killed and the Sam retreats into the country where he helps to run his uncles bar. Into Sam's life comes another young woman who is the exact image of his lost love. Sam doesn't know what to do, but he finds he's attracted to her. Things become complicated when he finds she has pictures of him and his girlfriend in Paris taken before the hit… Good film gets a bit "odd" in the final third as what exactly is going on is revealed and things take the a couple of turns that were not really expected. Formulaic its not. Its films like this that keep me coming back to films from Asia since they rarely do what I think they are going to do. Definitely worth a look, especially if you want to see something that is not your typical run of the mill story.

Bullets of Love was a great movie. I originally bought it because it just sounded like a cool, shoot'em up cop drama, but it turned out to be more. It has a great cast, everyone did really well acting-wise, and a (in my opinion) very good storyline- with a couple nice twists and turns. Even though there's a few things that while you're watching it make you think "what? but how did that happen?" in the end everything makes sense. Some people might say that the story is too convoluted, and complicated but if you actually pay attention it makes perfect sense. If you find yourself confused, watch it again it won't be a waste of time and you'll see things that will make it all make sense. It's worth it. It's also very touching, not just you're average cop drama. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone.

"Bullets of Love" is a mindless action/drama out of Hong Kong which tells a convoluted story about a cop who falls in love with a woman who looks like the fiancee he lost in a violent assassination. A clean and stylish shoot, the film fails on story which is a far fetched conglomeration with some action at both ends and a lot of unnecessarily tedious melodrama and silly humor in the middle. The DVD I watched was 70% spoken Chinese with subtitles and 30% English. Hokey stuff with more loose ends than a barbershop floor. Extreme nonsense for Chinese couch potatoes only. (C)

Solid, violent thriller starring Leon Lai, who plays a cop whose wife is assassinated in retaliation for his arresting ‘Night', a dangerous mob boss. He quits and starts a quiet life on a scenic island, but when a mysterious Japanese girl who resembles his dead missus appears on the scene he finds love again. His peace is shattered when Night is released from jail and seeks revenge! Cue a bloody and tragic finale.OK, it's a touch melodramatic, and you can tell there isn't going to be a fairytale ending, but this is an enjoyable romantic thriller that looks great and is well worth watching. Lai is always good value and Asaka Seto is a beautiful and enigmatic actress. Recommended.
