Man, if I wanted to watch Chungking Express...


I'd just watch it instead of Police Story 2014! Or I'd watch another Mainland depressing drama or an Oscar-bait entry for Best Foreign Language film than the Mainland likes to churn out every few years or so.

But I wanted an HK action flick! Not this!

I seriously didn't like having my eyeballs burned from watching all this frenzy editing of neon lights in dark bar district back alleys. Jeez...

I know JC is getting up there in years and can't go hardcore in major action scenes I get, but he could use other younger men to take up the slack for him.

I was yawning thruout the hostage taking and the back and forth Rashomon storytelling. Just stick with one plotline, preferably with action scenes!

I guess I was just disappointed this wasn't even close to the heyday of JC's 80/90's days.
