Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

David Tjahyadi This movie was in my recollection one of the last one man gangster showdown (3 in this case) but still a marvelous nostalgic to the 90s hongkong gangster flick where the protagonist literally load himself with guns and go blazing. Brings back lots of memories, it got everything i like from the era, alan tang was just oozing charisma all over.Would recommend this if you like hongkong gangster movies

chrichtonsworld As a longtime fan of Hong Kong movies I can say that I am very forgiving to trivial matters like plot as long as it is compensated by good action,humor or good performances. While the action scenes are decent it nowhere near is impressive. Also while this movie has the impression of being an action movie it isn't. The action scenes are too short so it is impossible too get to enjoy them. The focus here is on the plot. Which is silly since there is not much plot to speak of. Most of what we get to see are supposedly funny scenes with Andy Lau showing off his leader skills. Usually I have no problem with Andy Lau's style of comedy. In this movie however it is simply out of place. The other performances by normally good actors like Simon Yam and Leon Lai are below average. It's like they think they are in a serious triad movie and deliver their lines accordingly. Resulting in a complete farce. Alan Tang is Alan Tang. He is the only one who gets away with keeping a straight face in this ridiculous movie. For a much better Andy Lau Alan Tang combo I refer to Return Engagement which is a masterpiece compared to this. Especially if you love Heroic Bloodshed.

ebiros2 Taiwan mob family leader has three sons. The eldest (Alan Tang) is adopted but feels most responsible to carry out family duties. Second son (Simon Yam) is ambitious loose cannon. Third son (Bowie Lam)don't have what it takes to be much of anything. Alan is being targeted for a hit, and hit men raids on him during his wedding where his now wife gets hit in a spine and becomes paraplegic. Alan decides to lay low for the sake of his wife and leaves Taiwan to Hong Kong where he becomes an average fish vendor in Stanley where he meets Andy (Lau). Andy is a gang leader of some influence among the punk kids around Stanley and first takes Alan lightly not knowing that he's the real deal.This movie has action, plot and humor (and bit of romance), and spontaneous exchange between Andy Lau and Alan Tang is priceless.This is hard boiled action where Alan Tang sets the mood. He was a star in the '70s and proves that he's still in the game in the '90s. Watch it, and you won't be disappointed.

Joseph P. Ulibas Gun and Rose (1992) is about a triad family who's leader (Alan Tang) is implicated in some serious crimes (such as murder for one). He has to leave the family and go into hiding. The family "business" is in the hands of his two brother one is crazy (Simon Yam) the other is spineless (Bowie Lam). While Simon Yam plots to whack his older brother, Alan Tang is hiding out in a fishing village an befriends a likable rogue (Andy Lau) and her annoying sister (Carrie Ng). Simon learns about his brother's where abouts and decides to make his life very uncomfortable. Will Alan get back into action and take out Simon or will he become another victim of his madness?A surprise to me how enjoyable this movie was. There's plenty of action and a lot of out of place comedy (courtesy of Andy Lau). One scene has Andy Lau dancing away to music from a juke box. Simon Yam is his wing nut self whilst Bowie Lam plays the role of a weak willed push over. Alan Tang also gets to prove that he still has it. Recommended if you can find a copy.
