Cold Steel (2011)

Directed by David Wu

Action | War

Most recently watched by noahphex, sleestakk

Overview

Sharpshooter Mu Liangfeng (Peter Ho) with Platoon Leader (Tony Leung Ka Fai) perform specific tasks, with the big villain “ghosting” (Guo Mingxiang) and start match-ups/duel.  The trailer for director David Wu’s “Cold Steel”... could be a hell of a lot of fun. Everything you could possibly want from a Chinese action flick is in full effect, especially if you like your sex and carnage presented in an insanely stylish fashion.

Length 100 minutes

Actors

Tony Leung Ka-Fai | Song Jia | Yu Rong-Guang | Angeles Woo | Lin Zhu | Jonathan Kos-Read | Mickey He | Mingxiang Guo | Wang Deshun | Jacky Yeung Tak-Ngai | Vincent Chan Sze-Hon | He Lanpeng | Li Wei | Chen Chang-Kuang | Liu Zhong-Hu | Ye Xinyu | Liao Xi | Peter Ho | Yue Dongfeng | Xing Wenjie

Viewing Notes

My 9th film of FF2012, first of Day 3. Would’ve enjoyed this more if it would have lightened the Nationalistic approach a la “Japanese are evil bastards.” I understand it couldn’t be helped as David Wu explained but it’s overbearing at times. Outside of that, Wu has the pedigree and directs some great action. Also a little much on the melodrama w/the romance. Not bad but not great.
