      RONALD M ¡La octava de las mejores películas de mi vida! ¡La mejor película de Anthony Wong! ¡La mejor aparición de Gigi Lai! ¡La segunda de las mejores películas de Wenzhuo Zhao! :) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/18/22 Full Review Audience Member A chopsocky hybrid of John Q and Ransom. Tony Wong doesn't just demand people give back his son like Mel Gibson or hold a hospital hostage like Denzel. When his adopted son is about to board a flight to the US, Mr. Wong places explosives around an elementary school and threatens to blow it up if he doesn't see his son! Great fights from Zhao, stunts, and bits of humor keep it interesting. "One long chase sequence with fighting interspersed." "This is basically [an] action sequence with minimum amounts of filler." Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review dave j Thursday, August 1, 2013 (2000) Fist Power (In Chinese with English subtitles) ACTION Starring Wenzhuo Zhao as professional martial art cop getting himself mixed up a father Charles Chau (played by Hong Kong film veteran Anthony Wong) trying to get back his kid after he was abandoned by his mother who's mixed up with some gangsters. Of course, this stupid plot only serves only as a backdrop to showcase the fighting sequences and they're plenty of it, it's some of the worst I had ever seen since they're just boring without convincing fighting choreography or charismatic camera angles. Some of the Hong Kong action movie influences are very evident upon watching this-"Pedicab Driver" is one of them. I couldn't stop falling asleep whenever I had this on and I can adapt to stupid thin plots as long as the action holds up on it's own, this was just terrible particularly the beginning where the martial arts star walks to the corridor and he's beating several cops with batons which anyone can tell wires were used with really bad pretending-to-be-hit acting. 2 out of 4 stars Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member No, this isn?t a scary hardcore porno, but an entertaining kung fu/action film.  It was pretty funny how everyone in the film wasn?t too upset with Anthony Wong for holding a school full of children hostage at gunpoint though.  Not a necessary watch by any means, but it should keep those with low standards happy through it?s running time. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
