When a police officer of irrefutable honour is caught stealing
$1,000,000 from a police safe he claims to have no memory
of his actions. The investigating officer, a member of the
elite G4 special force believes that the perpetrator has been
hypnotised. In an effort to prove his innocence the officer
enlists the help of a psychologist who has become an expert
in the shadowy field of pyschogenesis, the science of controlling
the actions of others via hypnoses. It is his belief that
the suspect is the unwitting target of such behaviour and
has resulted in the theft. Together they must find the person
responsible for this travesty before he strikes again...
Loaded
with thrilling chases and tense and sizzling action Heroic
Duo is one film you won't be able to tear your eyes from.
I
never thought I would say it but this is certainly one of
the most flat Asian films I have ever seen. Now please don't
take this to mean that its bad, fo from it. Its just a bit
flat. All of the ingredients are here for a top notch thrilling
ride of a movie and it seems just like going on a slow merry-go-round
when what you want is a rollercoaster to make you remember
what you had for breakfast that morning.
The
acting is good and the storyline is ok too, but I just failed
to be thrilled by this thriller. I'm sorry I cannot be more
specific than that other than to say it seems to be missing
the "X" factor. Maybe its the atmosphere of the film that
doesn't lift it high enough. I just cant put my finger on
it.
This
film does require some level of disbelief at how silly some
of the situations are and how come Chinese police officers
don't seem to have any common sense at all. Maybe that's what
it is? It just doesn't feel professional.
Extras
on the disc include some interviews with the director a making-of
documentary and some more film notes. Not a bad film just
try not to take it seriously at all, then you may end up hating
it.
