Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

ckormos1 It opens to the usual "who are these two guys and why are they fighting?" plus a pocket watch. It is soon explained that someone was sent to kill the "60 second assassin" but failed. The assassin arrives at the target's place and reads him his list of crimes then kills him in under a minute. Next he goes to visit his brother who disapproves of his career choice.The movie seems to go totally off course when the fat kid enters the story. Dean Shek salvages a bit of it. The fat kid wants to learn kung fu and this leads to his death and the death of his family. Man Lee- Pang finally learns that his boss, Leung Kar-Yan is a bad guy and has been deceiving him all along. This leads to the final fight.Yes, the fights were excellent especially the final fight. Yet I felt the rest of the movie came across as filler material. This was mostly due to I found the kid annoying. That's always a risk when using children as actors. Overall I will only rate this as average for the year and genre.

desperadous Sixty Second Assassin is a forgotten shapes film.The films stars Man Lee Pang,Leung Kar Yan,Lung Fei, Wong Chi Sang,Kong Ching Ha,Su Chen Ping,Dean Shek.This is one of Leung Kar Yans very good villain performances. he is the employer of Minute Fong(Wan Lee Pang),who is an Assassin that kills his enemies in under 60 seconds.Minute Fong wants to give the killing up to retire and live in a farm.But Leung Kar Yan has got a couple assignments before he can walk away.This Assassin story has been in many movies but what makes this one special is the fights.Good choreography from kicking and punching.Wan Lee Pang is a Taiwanese martial artist,and has only appeared in very few movies.He is also a villain in Kung Fu On Sale.The fight between him and Leung Kar Yan is indeed worth watching.

gridoon Hardcore fans of old-school kung fu movies will probable enjoy "My Life's on the Line" more than I did. Most of the typical characteristics of this sub-genre are here: exaggerated sound effects, impossible jumps, annoying "comic" characters, and of course as little plot as necessary to move the film from one fight scene to the other. Speaking of the fight scenes, there are plenty of those here but they are just not my type: they seem too rehearsed, too elaborate - they play more like exhibitions of various kung fu techniques. But no matter what everyone's opinion on the rest of the movie is, most people will at least agree that the ending is incredibly disappointing. I don't want to spoil it in this comment, but it will definitely leave you saying "what?" (*1/2)

greghulme This is quite an interesting independent kung fu film. For many of us who have watched countless numbers of kung fu movies with the same plot ideas, its nice to watch a film that tries to be a little different and play around with he plot. The idea of a hit man who gets payed for killing off criminals, and making sure he does so in under a minute, is an idea i have not seen before or since in a movie. The action is also quite original and entertaining as well. Wang Li Pang uses lots of different styles but his main styles are kick boxing and some of the more contemporary kung fu techniques. There is also a bit of weaponry towards the end but this is mainly an empty hands kung fu movie. The final battle where Wang Li Pang takes on the evil Leung Kar Yan, is vicious and very well executed.One of the problems with the movie is that there are many cuts in the plot. As you think you're warming to a scene or a certain character it cuts to the next fight very abruptly. Also there are random scenes where the picture blacks out and then fades back into light again, mostly during a fight. However whether this is due to poor picture quality or simply bad editing.All in all this a very enjoyable kung fu film. The ending alone is reason enough to watch it.
