Magnificent Team (1998)
Reviewed by: Inner Strength
Summary: Pretty good
David Lam has never really made a name for himself when it comes to making original films, and this is again like Sydneyguy said, little more than an average crime film. Nothing new or original from this that hasn’t been done and seen before unfortunately. However, I’m not saying it’s a bad film. The action is pretty good, and the highlight of the film, and it’s set at the right pace with the rest of the film (including the story, which is interesting actually). The story in summary is basically about a special police team set up to wipe out crime in Hong Kong, especially from a gang of brutal robbers. But most of the team is very strange, and I suppose they are supposed to bring a comedy element to this reasonably serious film, and actually some of it made me laugh a lot, as some was pretty funny.

Most of the cast act very well, especially Amanda Lee, newcomer Chan Hoi Man and Francis Ng.

Never a film that was very popular at the time anyway, and I think this one will disappear from most peoples mind if they see it. But you can do a lot worst when it comes to action films, and saying that I would say that it’s worth seeing all the same if you like action filmed the way those classic 80’s films were.

[4/5]
