Review of Jiang Hu: The Triad Zone (2000) by Greg W — 15 Aug 2013

Dated and awkward triad black comedy. Golden Chicken was funnier, and it's a far cry from Heat Team. The few action sequences are usually well directed, thanks to Lam. A lot of the humor is cultural, and it's incredibly dry.

Still, there are laughs to be had and even though the script doesn't play to Lam's strengths, he does a decent job. So, even when the attempts at parody are bizarre and sad, at least, for the most part, it looks good.

Too long and melodramatic. For die-hard triad, Lam, Leung and/or Ng fans.
