Audience Member It's not my idea of fun getting beaten up! Li Man-Ho is a business man that comes home after his father is brutally murdered. His father is in charge of a Triad gang that is weakened after his assassination by a rival gang. Li is an honest man who wants nothing to do with violence, murder, and illegal activities; however, he may be forced to help his father's gang out or many lives may be lost. Taylor Wong, director of No More Love No More Death, The Truth, Spiritual Love, Pursuit of a Killer, Stars & Roses, and Rich and Famous 2, deliver Triad: The Inside Story. The storyline for this picture is not very well presented or executed. It felt unnatural and awkward. The cast delivers below average performances and includes Chow Yung-Fat and Kenneth Tsang. I came across this picture on Netflix and thought the film may have potential. Unfortunately, the film starts promising with a documentary feel with facts about the Triads, but then becomes a poor gangster film. I recommend skipping this. Grade: D Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member good but hardly the far-reaching exposé of triad Mafiosi that its title promises. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Expected so much more... So boring ... zzz Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Some nice stunts but the story is a bit complex. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Highly influential triad movie from Taylor Wong and arguably his finest work ever. Not only does it anticipate the neo-noir of the likes of Johnnie To, but it also stands out among contemporary gangsterflicks for being more of a characterbased drama that mindblowing actionmovie. It furthermore features a breakthrough performance from an incredibly young Roy Cheung as the annoying hothead Kong, miles away from the cool and silent Cheung of later date. Even your old Chow Yun Fat gets to show some range in his acting skills here. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
