Film Review: G Storm G風暴 (2021) - Hong Kong Reviewed by Andrew Chan (Film Critics Circle of Australia) The 5th and final instalment of the long running ICAC/Police Corruption Buster crime action thriller finally comes to a equally ridiculous end. This is not before blowing up key Hong Kong landmarks including the space museum in an awful display of poor CGI and taking out our key protagonist in the process. There are no tears or emotions as we go through to the credits, but rather a heightened sense of relief that this undemanding and underwhelming film series is finally done and...

One of the best thing about the sequel to the atrocious “Line Walker” is that this film have nothing to do with the original and apart from a few familiar faces and TVB investments. “Line Walker 2” smartly revokes the John Woo and Ringo Lam bloodshed and brotherhood action genre, meaning we get non-stop action display going across Hong Kong, South East Asia and...

The White Storm 2 - Drug Lords 掃毒2天地對決 (2019) - Hong Kong / China   Reviewed by Andrew Chan (Film Critics Circle of Australia)   Help us continue to cover more Asian and Martial Art films by making a donation to Neo Film Blog below. In terms of over the top and ridiculous entertainment fun, few can top Benny Chan’s “The White Storm”. The sequel directed by Herman Yau is equally bombastic, except it uses Hong Kong rather than Thailand for its most impactful action display in the midst of the business centre of Hong Kong’s key locations and transportation system. What I thoroughly...
