PURPLE STORM is a very slick, high-budget action film but it does not forget to develop the characters and the plot, which is implausible but handled in a fairly intelligent manner. There are some good performances (especially Daniel Wu and Josie Ho), action scenes with a lot of energy and adrenaline, and nice visuals throughout - let down by some bad CGI at the end.

A gripping and exciting thriller, I enjoyed it a lot.
