Curry and Pepper

A stylish actioner/black comedy with a solid cast. There are three stars, Sing Jai, Jackie Cheung (as a pair of cops with attitude) and Hong Kong, which supplies a suitably funky backdrop. Sing Jai does his unlucky in love routine, losing out to his partner, although you wonder who he is really jealous of sometimes. Jackie Cheung and the girl are both so irritating that they deserve each other, but the love triangle is the basic fuel of many a plot. It gives Sing Jai a chance to display an impressive array of pissed off expressions. All the smaller roles are filled with quality HK talent, the most notable being Blackie Ko , director and chief bad guy. The action scenes are first rate, especially the supermarket scene and the finale, which has to be seen to be believed.
