“I do believe that I have now watched the 1994 Hong Kong action crime thriller u0026quot;San Ying Hung Boon Siku0026quot; (aka u0026quot;Return to a Better Tomorrowu0026quot;) two or three times since it was originally released.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe storyline in the movie, as written by Jing Wong, whom also directed the movie, was fair enough. I mean, it made for a watchable movie, though it was hardly an outstanding movie in the action crime thriller subgenre. Watchable for what it is, u0026quot;San Ying Hung Boon Siku0026quot; is not going to become a Hong Kong classic.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat keeps the movie afloat is the cast ensemble, because they definintely had a good handful of familiar talents on the cast list. And if you are familiar with the 1990s movies of Hong Kong cinema, then you will recognize the likes of Ekin Cheng, Ching Wan Lau, Michael Wong, Chingmy Yau, James Wong, Collin Chou and Paul Chun.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is a lot of action, fighting and shooting in the movie, and that definitely helped to carry the movie as well, because the storyline was a bit erratic and somewhat lacking a cohesive red thread.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all, then u0026quot;San Ying Hung Boon Siku0026quot; is watchable for what it is, but there are far better Hong Kong Triad-related movies out there.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy rating of writer and director Jing Wongu0026#39;s 1994 movie u0026quot;San Ying Hung Boon Siku0026quot; lands on a five out of ten stars.”
