Violent Cop (1) (2000)
Reviewed by: Fatty on 2001-05-29
Summary: A boring film....
It's been awhile since I've seen this film, so I'll do my best with this so called review.

Micheal Wong plays Cuba Koo, a cop who is right now celebrating a b-day ( I think) while this is going on we learn about the "Cross Killer" who cuts up people's Weenies. A Shoot Out happens in the bar and Koo's pal Hau, gets a bullet in the head. Then some other stuff happens before the credits role...



I don't know why tho, but I could not understand this film. IMO it looked somewhat like SE7EN (Not much tho). But still I did not like this film that much. There was little action that tried to be like a John Woo shootout I guess, and some crime solving that bored the hell out of me. Sure, it's a boring film, but some parts stand out then others. I really liked the ending, when the baddie goes all whack and jumps off of the Police Headquarters building(Cool death too!) Then beginning when I thought the bar was a strip joint(You see a table dancer there, she was a cutie :) ) Plus the part where you see the baddie in the Theatre with his date, who decides to do some stuff with him to get paid (weird, since they met at a Cell Phone place)


I thought the acting was good, Micheal Wong is again, the cop. Anthony Wong (My hero) plays the good'ol pimp and does a good job with it. Wayne Lai ( I think) plays a good baddie and dies a great death...well, more like suicide I guess. The other people did a good job aswell.


Another thing I liked was the music, it was mostly goth stuff but it was ok. The ending theme was pretty cool (Not catchy tho, well sort of I guess)


In all, a mostly boring film, with some cool deaths I might add. The movie title ain't good (The baddie is somewhat a cop, just gives them coffee and donuts, that's about it.) Cross Killer would've been a better title, and that's about it...


2/5
