Legend of the Brothers poster
8.5

Chronicles the rise of two brothers from their start in the 1940'sas illegal immigrants from China to the 1970's when they became the heads of the most powerful triad group in Hong Kong. Kent Cheng is the wise brother who must constantly help out his rash younger brother, Ray Lui. Another one of these true-life stories that seems to glorify triad life. Predictable at best.

The Criminal Hunter poster
9.0

Chu Yu (Eric Tsang) is a homicide detective who accidently stabs his girlfriend while wrestling with a murderer. The killer returns later and squeezes her wound until it ruptures, causing her death. But the wily Chu Yu photographs his girlfriend's corpse in a wedding dress, tricking the killer into believing she is not dead and causing him to return for a second try. When he does, Chu Yu is waiting, having rigged the corpse like a marionette and causing it to shoot its own murderer. Co-starring Danny Lee, as Officer Li Ta Hsiu, and Dick Wei in this decidedly offbeat attempt at gallows humor which works extremely well under the direction of action specialist Frankie Chan.
