Review of Seoul Raiders (2005) by Movie K — 31 Jul 2010
Not bad action movie and have quite alot of fighting. But too bad the 3 korean lady assisstant are not been used much. Shu Qi is quite irrelevant in this movie. Shu Qi wanted to steal 2 money plate but stumble onto Tony Leung.
He cooly make off with the plates and soon the guards were after them. She wants to claim half of the bounty. During the fighting, they toss the briefcase to and fro and finally Shu Qi make it off. She open the case and the plates weren't in there.
Next, Tony go to the USA embassy to deal with Richie Ren. After smelling the cork and down the 2nd glass, he fainted. When he woke up he got apprehanded. The HK police chief is his friend so he has nothing on him.
Tony next go to Korea to nail Richie and gather his 3 lovely korean assistants. Tracked him down as he rented a car, they went after him and trap him in the train. Both fight and ended up Richie both hand bounded by his coat and outside the train door.
But he escape at next stop. Richie return to a club to deal with the businessman code name Polar Bear. But his rep Black Bear (James Kim) appear instead. The henchmen keep Tony busy fighting. Richie back out the deal and demand 10 million more.
Later on, Shu Qi found Tony and want to combine again. She have source to track down Richie. Tony fight with Richie at the public bath and he escape again. But Tony got back one plate. Richie go deal again and now this time he only will deal with Polar Bear.
They fight him and he manage to escape when a patrol car come. His rented car is search. He call for help from a agent but is useless. He was fighting in the carpark when a lady pass him a motorbike to escape.
Richie tries to steal back the plate at Tony's home but was caught. Tony punked him before telling him he is the secret agent to assist him. He have to pretend to be his enemy as Black Bear has already investigate him.
Shu Qi got info on Richie's secret cupboard and she went alone to claim the plate but was caught. Black Bear wants to complete the deal including Richie. The deal was done and Richie want the last dying wish to see Polar Bear.
He is a stroke guy in wheelchair, the wife of the interpreter. She and Black Bear snatch his business and make it their style. Then backup arrive and they were all fighting and running but still all the baddies are caught.
Departing, Richie keep talking about Shu Qi. She wants her share of payoff.
