One of Hong Kong's biggest box office draws in 1997, Michael Mak's Island of Greed is a highly-budgeted and ambitious look into the dirtier side of Taiwanese politics. Even though lead actor Tony Leung Ka-Fai gives his all in a performance that garnered him a Hong Kong Film Award nomination, and there are some impressive set pieces directed by Yuen Bun that also got a nod from the HKFAs, the meandering and confusing script -- the one major part of the movie that really shouldn't have gotten a HKFA nomination, but did -- will most likely end up putting off many viewers.
