Review of Cold War

Cold War (2012)
Crimson Tide. Rings a bell?
28 January 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Not really a bad HK movie, although the storyline is way out there. A son plans a kidnap and ransom so that his father can become CP?Production and editing are both B+. However, seems disjointed at times. Leung Kar Fai's character is Gene Hackman and Aaron Kwok's character is Denzel Washington in the 1995 US submarine movie Crimson Tide. At the end, Denzel ran out to say goodbye to Gene (leashing his dog). Cold War's ending is similar. Coincidence or not, it's up to the viewer. There seems to be a few too many crime movies taking place at the HK Police HQ. The look and feel of the HQ are too corporate. The lack of the "precinct" feel makes the movie less authentic.
