A Moment of Romance (1990)
Reviewed by: grimes on 2000-04-09
This movie is a fairly standard rich girl/poor boy romance mixed with a healthy dose of heroic bloodshed. It stars Wu Chien-Lien (looking very young) as the rich girl and Andy Lau as the triad boy. They fall in love but obviously it can't work out.

While nothing too amazing, this is a decently entertaining film. One particular stand-out was Ng Man-Tat's interesting performance as a street person. It appears that he was formerly a gangster but that he left the triads because of his cowardice. Ng Man-Tat is surprisingly restrained (for him) and I particularly enjoyed those scenes that he was in. Other points of interest are some good scenes between Wu Chien-Lien and Andy Lau. Unfortunately, Wu Chien-Lien isn't given much of a character to work with so she doesn't shine the way I know that she can (see Eighteen Springs and Beyond Hypothermia.
