Review of Tiger Cage

Tiger Cage (1988)
5/10
Bearable, but barely

I saw this at the Pucheon Fantastic Film Festival in Korea this year, and well, the only reason I did was because no other film had a ticket remaining. And true to form, I WAS disappointed.

The movie did have a sense of suspense in keeping the audience guessing who was the bad guy, but a lot of clichés and ridiculous fight sequences held it back.

The female cop showed little emotion and wasn't that likable as were most of the other characters. I did like the action scenes with a young Donnie Yen, though.

If you're into formulaic Hong Kong action flicks that are as predictable as they are silly and boring, this film is for you. But definitely not for me.
