Audience Member Twisty thriller finds a group of five police officers kidnapped and held for ransom by a hard group of mercenaries. But with the technological advances, the city wide surveillance, how could they pull it off? A mole in the police force. Not only that, the task force operation is at each other's throats, Internal Affairs is all over everyone, and everyone is a suspect. Cold War is pure pulp, but its fun pulp that takes itself just seriously enough to be taut and thrilling. That ending is a bit of a cliffhanger, but its okay because they finally got around to making a sequel. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Nothing groundbreaking about the story, but Cold War will go down as a classic Hong Kong cop movie. In a time where traditional Hong Kong cop movie is seen less and less, it is a breath of fresh air to see a film like Cold War to feature a predominantly local cast. The film itself is suspenseful and filled with good acting by almost the entire crew. Also liked that it is ambitious enough to insert a teaser for the next film at the end. You just know it when something is good. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member The film is fairly intelligent, though the final conclusion doesn't maintain that standard. Cold War is for once however, a cop conspiracy that knows not to throw in too many twists, and for that, its a quality addition to the genre. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Good action movie overall, but, a little challenging to follow at times and especially with all the subtitles going fast. Interesting story-line that keeps you guessing who the bad guy is until the end, sequel should be good Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A competent police procedural with mystery elements, this swept the HK film awards. Moderately enoyable for the intense performances from the top notch cast. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member well crafted and engaging crime drama Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
