5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely different., April 18, 2002

"shamgaranath" (Arlington, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beast Cops (DVD)

This was one of the first movies I saw when I was becoming acquainted with the Hong Kong action genre. This is an incredible, visually-stunning exercise in action. Now, it is not action on the same level as John Woo or Tsui Hark. But this is a great drama and action movie all at the same time. It has graphic violence, language and mild sexuality (as in don't see it for that reason or you'll be disappointed). If you like cop dramas and action films and don't mind reading a movie (though I do enjoy when the dubbing is different than the subtitles), Beast Cops is a great movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST, September 26, 2000

By 

derek ferreira (newport, r.i. United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beast Cops (DVD)

this is definately one of the best hk films you will ever see. the reason for this is that the script is way better than most hk films. GORDON CHAN did it with first option and know he has done it again. it probaly helped that he had a good group of actors. ANTHONY WONG, MICHEAL WONG, ROY CHEUNG,and SAM LEE all give excellent performances. the story deals with a group of mismatched cops who try to stop a gang of young, out of control triads. the story doesnt sound that new,but, the characterations are where this movie really shines. any fan of hk movies needs to see this film.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not your typical cop film!, July 31, 2000

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Beast Cops (DVD)

This film is not your usual good guys vs. bad guys. Because there is sometimes no difference. Anthony Wong is an outstanding actor. His portrayal of the crooked cop is superb. You feel sorry for him, and hate him at once. Kind of like Chow Yun Fat's role in the Corruptor. It was fascinating to see the characters evolve as thier circumstances changed. I would reccomend this film. Don't expect it to cheer you up however.
