Review
The story is pretty cliche cop vs bad guy stuff, but as with most kung fu movies that's not the reason to watch this. In the Line of Duty 4 is all about the action; and how great it is. The hits are fast and look very cool. The almost dance-like kung fu moves of old school films is replaced with more hard hitting, contemporary style fights. While I enjoy many kung fu style movies, sometimes it's nice to just watch a guy get a few solid kicks to the face.
Action star Donnie Yen puts on a great performance (specifically action wise), but Cynthia Khan is equally impressive. She takes most of the screen time and has plenty of eye pleasing moves. Heck, even Micheal Wong has some nice moves, which might surprise some.
The quality of the action easily makes up for the lack of originality in the story. Thankfully, the plot moves along at a nice brisk pace allowing for a good amount of action scenes. Kung Fu and action movie lovers are encouraged to check this out, as there is a lot for you to enjoy.
Overall:  Ryan Frost, 2005 |
