Baan sau chuk dak hin dui (2002) Reviews
even cops have to make a living!
the film is shot in a humorous, impertinent style. using its story of policemen in debt ( virtually every officer owes money to loan sharks ) to reflect upon hong kong's current economic malaise and the loss of moral values. danny lee heads an ensemble cast of fine supporting actors with brian ireland standing out as a white lawyer-turned-cop who works both sides of the fence. herman yau's witty direction underscores the fact that the current malaise affects all sectors of hong kong society. 9 of 10
Watch it for the cast, if you must
SHARK BUSTERS is an unusual Hong Kong comedy/drama from director Herman Yau, the man best known for his gruesome efforts in the Category III genre. This one's an oddball, offbeat kind of social enterprise which explores the rule of loan sharks in Hong Kong and how their influence even reaches the police force. For the first half it plays out as a typical comedy, with plenty of Chinese humour, although things get a bit more serious in the second half. Truth be told, it's a bit of a misfire, not really excelling as either drama or comedy. The best thing it has going for it are some well-judged performances from the likes of Danny Lee, Ken Lo, Lam Suet, and, best of all, the great Fung Hark-On who gets a MUCH bigger role than usual.
Fun social commentary of modern Hong Kong
If there's one thing you will leave this movie thinking, it's, "Who the heck is that white guy who speaks fluent Cantonese?" The answer would be Brian Ireland, a Hong Kong businessman and friend of Danny Lee, making his acting debut as a lawyer who wants to become a police officer, because he likes guns. Meanwhile, the rest of the force, led by Danny Lee, are saddled with debt (like everyone else in Hong Kong) and the loan sharks (led by an over-the-top Lam Suet who has half his dialogue bleeped out it's so foul) are getting vicious. A very modest film with small ambitions, SHARK BUSTERS captures the current economic state of Hong Kong, and leads the debtors through feelings of helplessness and suicidal tendencies to empowerment and a willingness to fight back. The cops become Hong Kong's modern answer to Robin Hood. More engaging as a social commentary than as a movie, the action scenes barely heat up despite liberal application of some loud hip-hop LMF on the soundtrack.
