Audience Member An less than average movie overall. Neither does the action nor does the story holds your concentration for too long . Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Benny Chan's '96 film was good enough to be nominated for best Action choreography. It lost to Jackie Chan's "First Strike". Good stunts and cast, some shootouts and a nice, simple story are "Emergency Unit: Angry Fire Street Corner"'s strong points. Not amazing, but fans of mid-90's HK action should see it. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member By the early '90s, Hong Kong filmmakers had written so many valentines to criminals -- gangsters specifically -- that serving under the rank and file of a triad seemingly paralleled falling in love for the first time. A critical backlash began to mount and a number of films emerged that portrayed law enforcement agents as self-sacrificing heroes even in spite of personal fragmentation. "Big Bullet," one such entry in a cycle of honeymoon crashing action films, is largely comprised of popular cinema technique -- in other words, it doesn't break any new ground. Nevertheless, director Benny Chan spends enough time walking along side his subjects (a team of EU officers led by recently disgraced/demoted detective Lau Ching-wan) that these otherwise one-dimensional characters appear interesting enough to ride shotgun with in their pursuit of Anthony Wong and Yu Rong Guang who share a fetish for killing cops. The finale, obviously inspired by "Die Hard 2," is poorly edited together in a series of medium shots and close up's and not surprisingly succeeds at alienating the audience. Comparatively, 1996 also saw the release of the first three "Young and Dangerous" films (touching off the "triad boyz" subgenre drawing continued critical ire) that further marketed triads to impressionable teenagers by way of heartthrob Ekin Cheng and "Big Bullet" players Jordan Chan, Francis Ng, Anthony Wong, and Spencer Lam. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member They were so young XD Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Easily one of the best cops and robbers movies. It mixed stylish and tense action scenes with plenty of character development, for a crowd pleasing crime thriller. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member now, this film had camraderie and chemistry between its c- ast! the action is highly ambitious and is worth a look just for that. however, it lacks heart. the villain's background is needed to flesh out the protagonists' motivation/pursuit.
