camille l Sun Cheung Sau est le thriller HK plus classique que classique, avec tous les tenants et aboutissants habituels du genre : le vieux sage, le chien fou et l'ancien élève devenue rogue, avec une bonne quantité de scènes d'actions dont on ne sait pas trop ce qu'elles viennent faire là, mais qui sont tout de même bien fichues. Dante Lam semble être un type plutôt talentueux dans ce qui consiste à muscler son film, beaucoup moins quand il faut exposer son intrigue, aussi fine qu'inintéressante. Heureusement, pour faire face au score extrêmement pompier, on a trois acteurs très doués : Richie Ren, Edison Chen et Huang Xiaoming. Les trois font de Snipers un film franchement plus sympathique qu'il ne le devrait. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Not the most sophisticated of HK crime stories, but still a fun action flick with a couple of delirious ideas in the mix and the usual mastery of coreography and gun-fu (this time longer and farer). Big WTFs: the inconspicous Rambo suite of every wannabe police sniper and the closing run with friends, manly sharing a moment. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member The storyline was okay, entertaining. I like the shooting part about the 3 good snipers. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A Hong Kong police champion sniper becomes a traitor to the government gets haunted by his own sniper friends from any more wrong doings and killings. The friendship was the thing that carried the film with some good style of action by Dante Lam Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member The story line ; the enacting & the presentation of a life of 2 "special force cops", before & after his line of duty is worth an applause Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Just forget it if u haven't watch it yet.. Other than Xiaoming Huang is hot, nth is worth to mention... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
