Review of Year of the Dragon (1985) by Tanner B — 24 Jun 2016

Good direction can't save a cliched script. Captain White is a cop who doesn't play by the rules, but yet is the most decorated cop in NY? How does that work? Rourke and Lone keep it from totally going under.

Ariane has a performance all across the board, but might have done better if she had been given a character to work with. Dennis Dun shines in a bit part. The action scenes are appropriately violent and well filmed.

All in all a mixed bag of tricks. A better ending would have helped.
