“As I stumbled upon the 2021 crime action movie u0026quot;Chui Foo Chun Lungu0026quot; (aka u0026quot;Once Upon a Time in Hong Kongu0026quot;), and seeing that the movie was starring Louis Koo, Franchis Ng and Tony Ka Fai Leung, I have to admit that I had some expectations to the movie. I hadnu0026#39;t heard about the movie prior to coming across it by random luck here in 2023.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe storyline in u0026quot;Chui Foo Chun Lungu0026quot; was watchable, for sure, but it was a rather bland viewing experience. So I am a little surprised that writers Kin-Hung Chan, Woody Hui Yan, Koon-Nam Lui and Jing Wong only managed to concoct that kind of generic script. I mean, the movie was watchable, but hardly a memorable or outstanding moment in Hong Kong cinema.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie does, however, have a rather impressive cast ensemble. With the likes of established actors such as Louis Koo, Tony Ka Fai Leung and Francis Ng. But also the likes of Ka-Tung Lam, Philip Keung, Kent Cheng and Parkman Wong. So there definitely is a good number of familiar faces and talents on the cast list.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile u0026quot;Chui Foo Chun Lungu0026quot; was watchable, the movie was just too generic and sort of forgettable. And thus, while I did managed to sit through all 105 minutes, I was only mildly entertained. And this is by no means a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy rating of directors Woody Hui Yan and Jing Wongu0026#39;s 2021 movie u0026quot;Chui Foo Chun Lungu0026quot; lands on a four out of ten stars.”
