Movie Reviews of SPL (Sha Po Lang) HK movie DVD (Region All Free / R0) Donnie Yen, Sammo Hung (English subtitled) A.K.A. Kill Zone
Movie Review: SPL action packed supercharged modern martial arts cop film
Summary: 5 Stars
sammo hung is a legend in asian cinema. he went face to face with the master Bruce Lee in the opening sequence in enter the dragon. as i recalled, he often play that comedic fatso who got bullied on but somehow by the end of the movie, his kung fu skills turned him into the hero. superstar donnie yen on the other hand is undoubtedly the most underrated, under appreciated actor by hollywoods.
i love this movie because it is not what i thought it would be. it started out slow. i thought ah, this is going to be another cops vs robbers story. however, it was not like the 80's classic CHIPS where punch and john never draw their guns, just chasing the bad guys around. SPL's story line was simple but quite captivating and emotional. the line between right and wrong is blurred as the good guys protect and serve. do as i say but not as i do!!! i was pleasantly surprised at how good and enjoyable it is the minute donnie yen appears on the screen. i like the theme of brotherhood, and loyalty. the fight scenes were cool, fresh, very original and well done. donnie yen did a great job choreographing the actions and fight scenes. the camera slowed down and sped up at the right moments to show energy and emotions. the music was really cool pumping at the right moment which enhanced our sense of tension, excitement and anticipation. my favorite fight scenes was the alley fight between donnie and the assasin. it was very original and way up there similar to the one between donnie and jet li in once upon a time in china part 2. mr. yen is a legend in his own rights. . !! i watched the movie a few times already just to appreciate the speed, continuity and fluidity of the fight scenes.
well, sammo hung is a much bigger star today and still is a fatso [no disrepect intended!!!]. i still like his works and he still kicks ass. he did some pretty amazing fight scenes at the end. he did not make me laugh in this film. i was waiting for him to say something funny. warning, sammo was pretty brutal and this movie was very violent. i love the ending as often seen in classic asian cinema, where the main character is often killed off in the end. this is a movie that hollywood can't make, probably run way out of budget. hurray for asian cinema. hollywoods, take notice!!! punch and john, are you watching!!!!
