3/10
Twenty minutes of movie and the rest is filler
9 June 2019
It starts with a staged street fight. Polly and Samuel are trying to score some money from the crowd. They quickly spend it all on beer and noodles. (Who hasn't?) The movie continues with "A Day in the Life of a Street Kid" for about the first thirty minutes. This was about twenty-five minutes too long. If you started watching the movie at about the twenty-five minute mark, when Angela Mao begins her act, you would have missed nothing.

I find myself waiting until - for something to actually happen. Something like a plot to be specific. Only a storyline has appeared. Polly tries to push her way into the family act. Her and Angela spar on the roof. After defeating Tien Feng Polly joins the family. Finally, the rent money was stolen so we have a plot. Another girl living there also owes the moneylenders.

At just over one hour there is at long last another fight. Polly and Angela rescue a girl. It seems in 1970s Hong Kong that a man could sell his girlfriend into slavery and she could do nothing about it.

The last negative thing is the absurd relationship between Polly and the lawyer.

There is a big fight scene at the end and I would rate that one fight as adequate.

To sum it up there are about twenty minutes of movie out of a two hour movie that you could watch, understand the entire story and see three adequate fights. All the rest is filler material. My only recommendation for this movie is to forget it.
