|
Casey Chong
|
While the first movie did a great job exploring sibling rivalry, family dynamics and love triangles, the sequel gets lost easily amidst all the flashy visuals.

Casey Chong

[Director Albert Mak] successfully navigates each character’s predicaments and parallel storytelling with a mix of gritty and quirky crime-comedy tones.

I Did It My Way
(2023)
|
Casey Chong
|
It’s hard to believe this is the work from Jason Kwan, missing much of his directorial prowess in the crime action genre that he successfully showcased in the first two Chasing the Dragon.

[Felix] Chong’s attempt to sustain audiences’ interest through multiple narrative jumps is surprisingly hollow.

Creation of the Gods I: Kingdom of Storms
(2023)
|
Casey Chong
|
Despite clocking nearly 2 1/2 hours, Creation of the Gods I: Kingdom of Storms relies on expository-heavy scenarios and multiple plot threads that come and go and at times, hastily introduced.

...the entire third act almost derails everything the otherwise decent dramedy has built upon up until that point.

The jokes mostly work, particularly the way [Sunny] Chan makes good use of the Cantonese wordplays to keep things moving at a lively pace.

Chilli Laugh Story

The comedy parts are mostly hits than misses, thanks to Coba Cheng and Matt Chow's lively screenplay filled with Cantonese puns and sexual innuendos.

Ip Man 4: The Finale was no doubt both moving and a fitting end to one of Hong Kong cinema's most iconic franchises of the modern generation.

Vanguard

Coupled with cheesy dialogues and mostly unfunny comedy moments, Vanguard continues to be a downfall for Jackie Chan and Stanley Tong's collaboration.

Shock Wave 2

[Herman] Yau does a good job maintaining his movie mostly at a brisk pace while Li Chung-Chi's action choreography features some well-staged foot-chase and shootout moments.
