Movie Reviews of Rapid Fire
Movie Review: Rapid Rise
Summary: 5 Stars
Brandon Lee was well on his way to being the next huge action star..He had model good looks, an impeccable martial arts pedigree and talent to match, he could zing out sardonic one-liners with the best of them, and he was a fine actor, as well. This film features Brandon as an art student who witnesses a murder and is then caught between the Chinese and Italian mafias, the FBI, and the Chicago police department. Lee's martial arts style is unique and fun to watch--sort of a cross between Jackie Chan's acrobatics and Jason Statham's fisticuffs.
Summary of Rapid Fire
In this explosive martial arts action adventure, college student Jake Lo is pursued by smugglers, mobsters and crooked federal agents, after he witnesses a murder by a Mafia kingpin (Nick Mancuso). Determined to survive, he single-handedly takes on Chicago's warring drug lords with the assistance of a renegade cop (Powers Boothe) and his beautiful partner (Kate Hodge).Brandon Lee's penultimate picture isn't much on paper--a dour college kid, bitter over his activist father's death in Tiananmen Square, is targeted by a Chicago mobster after witnessing a gangland killing and reluctantly joins forces with brooding, obsessed cop Powers Boothe--but then who was watching this for the story? Consider this his screen test for the superior The Crow. Lee bites off bad dialogue with surly sneers, swaggers through scenes with the confidence of a movie veteran, and moves... well, his moves are the real reason to see the film. Nick Mancuso has a good time as the weasely mobster getting sloppy in his desperation, and Powers plays the father figure with less conviction than sheer tenacity, but Brandon Lee is the star-in-the-making of this production. This, unfortunately, is no star vehicle, but it provides enough bone-crunching, butt-kicking martial arts action for any action junkie. --Sean Axmaker
