DanTheMan 2 Full Contact is Ringo Lam's clean slate, a film with a style no one can put a finger on, it doesn't tackle anything in particular but with obvious comparisons to the type of film John Woo was making at the time, Full Contact turns those into an artistic grindhouse adventure. Fast, fierce and gleefully tasteless, Full Contact survives on its own gritty merits. It's a down-and-dirty little action film that leaves you squirming and breathless in your seat. Also, Teddy Robin's rocking guitar music absolutely slaps. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/30/23 Full Review decadepast d I just love watching this movie. The action is awesome and the way it's shot is so incredible. It's the closest you'll ever get to seeing Chow Yun-Fat do Grindhouse. Love it.

WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT SHOWN ON I NIGHT EVENTS Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Ringo Lam's bloody revenge tale delivers the goods. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review walter m In "Full Conact," Sam(Anthony Wong) owes Hung(Nam Yin), a loanshark, a lot of money. So much so, that Hung is prepared to torture him and start removing body parts to get it back. But luckily for Sam, Godfrey(Chow Yun-fat) comes to the rescue in the nick of time, not least because the money was for a good cause. That resolved, they still have Hung after them, more so than ever. So the guys send Godfrey's fiancee Mona(Ann Bridgewater) back to Hong Kong, while they team up with the Judge(Simon Yam) for a heist that might resolve their immediate money worries. While the robbery does not go off on time, the doublecrossing does... "Full Contact" proves the old adage that it is not a good sign if the opening credits sequence is superimposed over a scene at a strip club. Overall, the movie is a seriously dated action movie that is very violent, often times needlessly so.(You would think thieves would show more subtlety and restraint when carrying out jobs, wouldn't you?) But thankfully, the movie does get better in its second half, as it gets more thoughtful with a few directorial flourishes from Ringo Lam thrown in. That still does not help it escape being little more than a B movie that might have once been shown at 3:00 am on HBO. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Text book tale of a double cross and revenge.
