Chik loh dak gung (2002)
bad acting, bad fight sequences, bad film
It's a sad day when Hong Kong action films are copying stuff made in other countries. The people who created the action film genre should know better...
This film screams of rip-off. From La Femme Nikita, Battle Royale, and Leon, scenes, elements, and even exact dialogue were stolen. From training women to be sexy assassins (Nikita) to having them fight it out to see who survives and becomes the "chosen one" (Battle Royale), to the cheesy sledge hammer to the wall only to make a hole large enough for one of us to fit scene (Leon).
And over/bad acting. I guess that's what happens when you get Asian models to play lead roles. Maggie Q is hot, no doubt, but she and everyone else in the cast could use an acting lesson or two. And the director might want to brush up on his English. Bad dialogue and delivery suck in any language... even if its your second or third. Not even the sneezes in the back of the truck were believable. I've seen better acting in a hardcore porn movie. Jenna Jameson's got more skills even when getting drilled by 2 dudes at once.
Truly disappointing.
