“Although not your typical nostalgic fare this movie really brought me back to those fun action movies of the 80s and 90s. First film that came to mind as I started this movie with its gritty realism (prevalent in this median) was Lethal Weapon. I grew up with Lethal Weapon, LOVE Lethal Weapon, but I can only watch it so many times.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis movie brought me back to that time when I wished I could have watched these movies, but never knew they existed or they were too u0026quot;grown upu0026quot; for me. Since Iu0026#39;ve grown tired of the typical American 90s action movie Iu0026#39;ve looked to the East for their offerings in Action Cinema. Asian Connection does not disappoint in leaving me optimistic that my journey into the amazing period of Hong Kong Action Cinema will be an experience.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story was at first a little hard to follow. It does pick up and provides enough to keep you interested. I drifted once or twice during the film, but when I came back in I realized I didnu0026#39;t miss much. If they are yelling and or there is exciting music you must pay attention in this one.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you are exploring Hong Kong Cinema and are in this era then I would say this is a must see. If you are looking for something to replace your tired 90s Action Cinema from Hollywood this is serviceable. If you are looking for an amazing action movie that defines a genre and culture this isnu0026#39;t it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne thing is for sure. I want to watch more and plan on documenting my odyssey through Hong Kong Cinema.”
