The Inside Track

Honest horse racer Yan is getting squeezed by dishonest Lau Fei.Help comes in the form of Bill, legendary rancher now living in Brazil, and Ginger Wong, ICAC agent so committed to the case she works for free. Law Kar Ying makes a brief appearance (one of many since his success in _From Beijing With Love_) as head evil scumbag. All in all, pretty corny stuff. I wasn't able to buy into Tung Piu as a master horse rider.

Summary: NULL

When a syndicate boss tries to jockey his way into control of the HK horseracing racket, it's up to the ICAC's Carrie Ng to bust the organization -- which has snared a young jockey into having to betray his older brother. Bits of icky realism (like when they force-feed a poisoned horse through its nostril) is compromised by a slavishly predictable (but nonetheless entertaining) plot. With Tang Pin and Derek Wong.

(2/4)
