Firestorm - 2013 - 6/10
AKA - 風暴
Reassuring to know Hong Kong is still capable of cranking out a classic heist flick with action overload.
After a somewhat artsy opening, the lens focuses on a gang preparing an armored car robbery.
Cops led by Andy Lau are on the alert, but too slow.
Several other capers follow.
Plenty of style in this. Terrific stunts. In extended gunfights, both sides seem to use tracers.
Fantastic looking.
Docked a couple points for lack of substance. Narratives are frenetic and incoherent.
Great time waster, but not top tier.
