Audience Member It's actually better than 'Mission Impossible'. A good hour and a half entertainment. Don't read the blurb at top of page....it gives half the story away. Rubbish title by the way. But i'd rather watch this than the 'Oceans eleven' crap. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A Hollywood action movie wannabe. And like majority from the same genre, soulless characters & hollow story underneath the appealing coating. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Simultaneously hailed and blamed for both the rebirth and destruction of HK cinema, Teddy Chan's Downtown Torpedoes seem barely average by today's standards. But in it's 1997 context it definitely breaks some new ground, abandoning the usual wall to wall action for a Hollywood style build up before the action kicks in. And when it does it's a finely tuned machine. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member An exciting action packed HK flick. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Yes, Takeshi Kaneshiro was in this movie and that's why it's good! Haha... kidding... but it IS a good movie afterall. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member i became a fan of jordan chan ... he was so cool in this movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
