Tokyo Raiders (2000)
6/10
Chinese version of Twilight
5 December 2009
Tony Leung (Hero, Infernal Affairs I, II, III, Red Cliff, Lust, Caution) opens with more tricks that James Bond, and an ability with an umbrella that rivals Toshirô Mifune's ability with a sword. We haven't a clue what the movie is about, but the action is hot and heavy.

He meets Kelly Chen (Infernal Affairs, Infernal Affairs III) looking for a guy (Ekin Cheng ) who owes him money. Another big fight ensues. Cecilia Cheung, who was in the infamous sex photos with Edison Chen, saves them both and takes them to the man who explains what they need to know about the missing guy.

What you end up with is the Chinese version of New Moon, a movie designed with pop stars and celebrities to appeal to teens. Nothing worthy of Tony Leung's talents, and certainly not a good Chines gangster flick.
