Rich and Famous (1987)
Reviewed by: spinali on 1999-12-08
Summary: NULL
Complicated (and vaguely monotonous) underworld melodrama, with big boss Chow-Yun Fat (well-groomed, kind to his underlings, loyal to his old friends -- is this a triad recruitment film?) under pressure from rival crime gangs to surrender two fugitives he's hidden away from the cops. But when he demotes his number two man (Alex Man) for insubordination, the subordinate becomes a turn coat. The movie's a lot of long, inefficient set-ups finished off by a brisk, climactic flare of violence -- which, true to HK cliche, happens at Chow's wedding.

(2/4)
