Yat goh hiu yan (1997)

English title: Mr. Nice Guy.

A cook gets accidentally involved with two rival gangs which are pursuing a journalist who has a video tape which may incriminate them.

First off, the premise is completely absurd, since it presupposes that a tape cannot be duplicated. Of course this is just the mcguffin, but all the same... As for the action, which is obviously the prime focus of the movie, it is mostly well staged (with a few not-so-minor glitches here and there) and fast paced, yet unimpressive.

Rating: 35
