Recently watched a coupe of HK movies.
Don't call me god of gambler Good tearjerker. Somehow, Anita Yuen never fails to make me weep. Simple storyline and propels by the main character. Many supporting actors role are quite redundant. You won't even miss them at all if it was acted by newcomers. Watch it especially if you are a fan of Chow. Nostalgic!
Prison Flowers Quite star studded affair but poor editing. Doesn't really have a main motive of storyline. Even character's death is unimpactful. Doesn't feel the punch. Luckily it's a n extremely short movie. lol. Enough said
Death Notice I watched it with low expectations but was blown away by this movie. Actions were above average. Also have a lot of stars in the movie with some playing very minor roles. Was pleasantly pleased with the intelligent plot. Usually this genre will be quite poorly executed or explained in HK movies but it doesn't dumb down the explanation a lot which is common among HK movies. I will give this a solid 8.5/10.
The White Storm 3 Have high expectations especially TWS 1 & 2 were so good. With new actor Aaron Kwok, expectations were raised but alas, the storyline was pretty simple. A typical cop vs robber movie with expensive action scenes that didn't impressed me too much. Actors did a good job but i just wasn't vested in the characters enough or at all. Rather rewatch the pre-quels. Still a solid 6.5/10.
