Cold War II (2016)

I think Hong Kong movies on a whole is not as well received as it once was (80s & 90s) because of.... many reason.

I like the first Cold War.

Well cast, script and made.

How does the second one stand?

Apart of Aaron's Kwok scary attempt at English... Pretty good!

It really feels like a quality H.K. movie, with it's own identity.

Please do not go in and expect a full fledged action movie.

It is a drama movie with action elements.

All actors brought their A game.

Oh, Chow Yun Fatt's has a strong cameo.

If you like the first one, go for it

My Two Sen

You have to watch the first part in order to appreciate this second part. Highly recommended. The beginning of the movie already make my buru roma stands up. The part where the Commissioner of Police gave his speech in English. Ha ha ha.

You used the right word there, “appreciate” but even as a standalone movie, it still is far superior than other likewise genre from HK, I would say.
That “speech in English” is by Aaron Kwok and yea, it wasn't a solid English but Ok lah, for his standard.
