#Fatal move 2008 cast how to
Only thing is Tsui, the producer might search mainland audience and budget, but Tsui the director don’t know how to operate this way. The commercial objective is obvious: Mainland China. One surface it is not much different than, let’s say, some of Milkyway comedies. Take a look at All About Women: it is produced the same way most bigger commercial Hong Kong romantic comedies nowadays are done with good production values and upscale sets and characters. It is not an age matter as much as it is a question of style. What makes All About Women and other later Tsui films very curious is that thanks to the specificity of Chinese production and his own entrepreneur ways he has remain productive at a point where most filmmakers hit their twilight. What exactly can one do with Tsui Hark at this point of his career? On its own zany way that’s the key question one ends up getting from All About Women, a very good and very specific Tsui Hark comedy that mostly failed to help boost Tsui’s very low recent reputation. Posted in capsules | Tagged 2008, Danny Lee, Dennis Law, Sammo Hung, Simon Yam, Wu Jing | Leave a reply All About Women (Tsui Hark,08) Some of the action can be good too, if a bit over the top until Wu Jing-Sammo Hung final bout which is as fine as expected, but can’t redeem everything that comes before it. All those veterans also bring a familiarity to most fans that can carry occasional scenes as it is always a joy to see, let’s say, Danny Lee doing his old cop number as he chastises crime bosses Hung and Yam. Fatal Move only comes alive in occasional bits mostly due to the many veterans cast here like Sammo Hung, Simon Yam, Maggie Siu and Danny Lee who give some characters more punch. This film could serious use another editor as at over 110 minutes it is easily 20 minutes longer than it needs to be, with Law mistaking his slow pace as an easier path towards heavy drama. It also mostly fails to exist as a large triad bloodbath even with fairly explicit Category III violence as Law’s approach is just too dull to make viewers engaged between the many action scenes.
Fatal Move would like to be a triad tragedy where a bad move cost most of its cast lives, but fails to earn its drama.
Like Law previous Fatal Contact this hopes to combine action with a very dour perspective. Most of the main players from Sha Po Lang (minus Donnie Yen) are reunited in this Dennis Law triad film.
