Gun chung (2006). 1h 30m | Not Rated

“u0026quot;Eye in the Skyu0026quot; (aka u0026quot;Gun chungu0026quot;) runs at about and hour and a half, but the movie is directed by Nai-Hoi Yan in a way that it seems like the movie was three hours long. While the concept idea and story was good, this slow pace was a severe anchor weighing the movie down.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie does have some familiar faces on the cast list, including two of Hong Kong cinema bigger names; Simon Yam and Tony Ka Fai Leung. But for us familiar with Hong Kong cinema, then Suet Lam is also a familiar face and name. I wasnu0026#39;t particularly familiar with Kate Tsui, but she was rather impressive in this 2007 action thriller.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story is about a young woman (Kate Tsui) starring int he CIB special division of the Hong Kong police department. Under the training of her superior (Simon Yam) they are playing a cat-and-mouse chase against a particularly professional gang of thieves.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are many interesting aspects to the story in u0026quot;Eye in the Skyu0026quot;, and the characters are detailed and have depth and fleshed out personalities. And the acting talents were doing good jobs with their roles. Just a shame that the pace of the movie was so dreadfully slow.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI will say that u0026quot;Eye in the Skyu0026quot; is a movie that appeals only to those whom are fan of the Hong Kong cinema. Otherwise you might find more enjoyment in another action thriller.”
