It's not that Samo is playing a non-action role (see my review of Eight Taels Of Gold). This movie is just plain dumb.

The plot has a serious go at getting in some level of complexity. But the acting lets everyone down, as does the detail of the script.

I admit that I didn't watch the whole film. I tuned out after half an hour, as boredom turned to active annoyance, while Kenny's character was playing a dumb alternate character trying to convince hostage Joey to cooperate. So it might have improved, as mpongpun hints.

A sad waste of a lot of great talent.
