TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Steineded How sad is this?
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Claudio Carvalho In a world devastated by nuclear war, the powerful Mr. Kim (Anthony Wong) owns the supply of water to a city. He plots a coup d' etat with the Colonel (Paul Chun) to overthrow The President (Shan Kwan) and they use Inspector Lau (Damian Lau) and the religious leader Chong Hon (Takeshi Kaneshiro) to set in motion an uprising. Tung-Tung (Anita Mui) is imprisoned, but Ching-Ching (Michelle Yeoh) decides to protect The President and the Bounty Hunter Chat (Maggie Cheung) seeks potable water with her nephew Cindy and the agent Tak (Lau Ching Wen) that is loyal to the President. "Jin doi hou haap cyun", a.k.a. "Executioners", is an awfully lame, melodramatic and messy sequel of "Heroic Trio" that I have not seen. The screenplay and situations are muddled and stupid, like for example Tung- Tung drinking rat blood in a moment and removing the door of her cell later. Another example, Inspector Lau brings his annoying daughter Cindy to the bus station to leave the child alone in a crowd. Or Tak, who does not swim, but dives in an unknown water spring. I could number lots of nonsense plot holes in the story.The choreography is dreadful and the fights and action scenes are terribly edited. But maybe the worst is the unpleasant character Chat, who is the stereotype of a stupid woman. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "Heroic Trio 2"
Paul Magne Haakonsen The follow up to the awesome movie "Heroic Trio", picks up the pace where the first one was, and takes it to a new level.This movie, like the first one, is filled with action from start till end. A good and solid story that will keep you interested and in the chair.And of course, the cast is phenomenal. Again, Maggie Cheung, Anita Mui and Michelle Yeoh does a good job here. There is something magical about these 3 together.If you liked the first one, you definitely do not want to miss out on a more mature and somewhat gloomier sequel. Thumbs up to this one!
jbgrelber This film continues Heroic Trio in a darker and much more hard edged tone.The viewer should really see Heroic Trio first to help get the story line.Michelle Yeoh and Anita Mui stand out in their roles and Maggie Cheung also turns in a fine performance.The opening scene with Michelle Yeoh driving a medical supply through a bleak environment is what sets the tone for the film-downbeat and serious,much more so than Heroic Trio.I think this film is underrated and certainly compares favorably with the Mad Max and Escape From.... films.The ending is very harsh and there is little or no comic relief in this film.I have seen some negative reviews of this film and I have to wonder if the writers saw this film as a stand alone-because if they did,the plot is not easy to comprehend.
contronatura The Heroic Trio is a great Hong Kong action film. This is a fact. Executioners isn't quite as good but might be more interesting - set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, filled with crazed corporate owners, assassinations, bandits, and renegade military personel, this is a film that has a lot of ambition. It's also deeply flawed, if only because it's a bit messy and many of the characters' relationships and plot lines are confusing. But it does have some remarkable action scenes, great performances again by Yeoh, Mui, and Cheung, and a surprisingly dark ending that works very well. Anthony Wong also has some fun as the villain, a madman who owns the water company(!). He's completely unrecognisable behind the makeup and iron mask he wears, but he's having a good time. If you like The Heroic Trio, this is well worth checking out. It's not that film's equal, but it is an above-average action film in its own right.
