Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

silentScope82 This movie is the worst Chinese movie I've ever seen. It doesn't even feel like a movie. It's more like a Chinese TV soap opera show. The action is really stupid, every 5 minutes there is slow motion which completely kills the scene. There is no story. The scenes are totally random by following different people, no main characters. The actors are all very cheesy, the emotions are overdone. I swear there was no post production done, it was purely live and the script was ad libbed.Do yourself a favor and skip this movie. I seriously wasted 1 hour and 40 minutes of my life. I was really looking forward to this because i love any show or movie related to SWAT.

radiocep Not to sure what is going on with this movie. Michael Wong speaks English most of the time while the Hong Kong actors just smile and respond in Cantonese, giving the impression they don't know what the hell he is talking about. At the start of the movie we see members of the SDU unit just mumbling with a smile (more like a laugh) while Michael Wong keeps chanting as if he was a commander of swat in Los Angeles. The whole plot is really thin and it does not follow through as the movie plays out. Frankly, at the end I still did not know who the bad guys were or how it all played together. I did see a lot of running though…. I guess if you want to be a part of the SDU unit, you have to be a marathon runner. At least the ending gunfight is passable in an action sense; it just took to long to get there. If I had to guess, this movie was tossed together to make money off of the first option movie. In the end, it failed

NIXFLIX-DOT-COM THE NEW OPTION is the latest entry into the SDU (the Hong Kong SWAT unit) series. Michael Wong, long associated with the series, returns as a SDU commander. The movie itself is unfocused and average, and there is actually only one lengthy gunfight at the very end of the movie. The movie's narrative is muddled and one gets the feeling that there was no actual script. It wouldn't be too far fetched to believe that most of the storyline was made up as production went along.It's no surprise that information on the movie is scant. There is no director or writer listed, only the name "Wong Jing". Gordon Chan is supposedly the director, but anyone who has seen his earlier works won't be able to find it here.THE NEW OPTION is average at best. Good luck trying to understand what's happening, or even who the villains are, and why they do the things they do.5 out of 10
