• Rose, Rose I Love You

    May 19, 2015

    ‘Rose, Rose I Love You’ is less of a straight lampoon of 60s Hong Kong cinema and more of a genuine attempt to harness the spiritedness of the original.

  • Roving Swordsman

    May 19, 2015

    It may be a routine swordplay flick that ambles along with little revolutionary, but ‘Roving Swordsman’ is nonetheless watchable enough to warrant a purchase.

  • Royal Tramp II

    May 19, 2015

    Part two is lavish and colourful, but simply not as absorbing as it needed to be. A steadier hand at the helm may have rectified this.

  • Runaway

    May 19, 2015

    Some of the more eccentric moments do inspire a wry smile, but nothing to fully salvage the end product.

  • Sai Kung Story

    May 20, 2015

    This is an unassuming, yet entertaining film that may not set the world alight, but develops its touching theme quite effectively.

  • Sakra

    Jul 10, 2023

    A mix of historical drama, romantic melodrama, and frantic wuxia superhero charged action, Yen and his crew certainly go all out to create an epic and kudos to their ambition.

  • Sakura Killers

    Mar 26, 2021

    While the whole story and most of the acting is goofy-as-hell there’s no doubting the fun ‘Sakura Killers’ delivers, along with all the great ninja busting.

  • SARS Wars

    May 21, 2015

    Overall the film, much like its hero, has a low budget ramshackle charm that manages to entertain for the duration but wont leave you thinking about it the next day.

  • Second Time Around

    May 21, 2015

    When the focus is on the more interesting science fiction narrative, director Lau succeeds in throwing in some surprising touches.

  • Seoul Raiders

    May 22, 2015

    ‘Seoul Raiders’ is not only a disappointment in comparison to ‘Tokyo Raiders’, but also a worrying reminder of the recent lack of sparkle in Hong Kong action cinema.

  • Shadow

    Jan 31, 2020

    Zhang Yimou’s black, white and blood red opus mixes political intrigue, wuxia action and enough twists and turns to fill several mysteries.

  • Shadow Master

    May 24, 2023

    ‘Shadow Master’ is some fight packed fright fun for the most part that sticks to its own path and certainly delivers some superb fight sequences for the fight film fans out there.
