The Big Heat (1988)
Reviewed by: GlennS on 2000-06-08
Very good film with some disturbing scenes (power drill through a hand, autopsy of a charred corpse) and inventive action sequences. It's a tour-de-force for B-list actors Waise Lee and Chu Kong, who are more known for other roles in more famous films (Paul in BULLET IN THE HEAD and Sidney in THE KILLER respectively), but arguably give the best perfomances of their careers here. The quality of the film is not surprising given that Johnnie To is the co-director and Gordon Chan is the screenwriter.

8.5/10
