I don't usually blog about movies, but this one is an exception.
For as long as I have lived, the most terrible movie I thought in existence was Beowulf (speed racer and disaster movie would be close runner-ups). huh. goes to show that life is full of surprises. Because when I went to watch future x-cops, nothing could prepare me for
90minutes of bad acting, dubious subtitles which only appeared in less than half the movie and the very fact that THE MOVIE WAS IN MANDARIN.


So, after spending 90minutes of my life I'll never get back and feeling 10bucks poorer, I can effectively conclude that...
IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN WATCHING THIS MOVIE AND HAVING YOUR NAILS RIPPED OUT ONE BY ONE, I SUGGEST GOING WITH THE NAILS.Because it'll be over
A LOT faster
Before I start, excuse me because I might be a little biased where this movie is concerned (in my defence, sitting in a cinema staring up at andy lau's face while trying to guess what he's saying because the goddamned subtitles decided to take a toilet break does that to you)
Anyway, the movie started off badly, the audience was already groaning and moaning when we entered the cinema slightly late after a few rounds of daytona. (After half an hour watching the movie I wished I was still drifting in daytona instead of drifting off to sleep) Then about halfway through the movie, the actions scenes began. Sadly, I don't think the director intended for the movie's audience to be laughing when Andy Lau transformed to what looked like a pirated version of Iron Man. And then Andy boy had to climb on a flying motorbike and before you know it the audience was having laughing fits of the full blown, hold-your-stomach-while-tears-roll-down-your-cheeks variety. And don't get me started on the 'romantic scenes'.
Kids, don't watch this at home. Or anywhere else for that matter :/
