You May Or May Not Like It

You've seen this one before. The beautiful Ellen Chan plays a fired police cadet who nonetheless gets hired by the department as an undercover officer to infiltrate the world of Fook Tin, a young, rich playboy, who happens to be involved in drug trafficking and possibly murder. In record time, she is living with him. Soon, she also doubts he is the bad person her colleagues are so sure about. Right off, this is a film for fans of Asian cult cinema, the brand of movie that has nudity, violence and, most of all, thin story lines. If you're interested in that genre, feel free to add two stars to this review. The subtitles are understandable but, at times, unintentionally funny (at an art gallery, someone asks if a painting is a Woho-presumably a Warhol). The film, however, has good pacing, its not very long, and had a fairly shocking scene or two, especially near the end, that made me wish to see this through to the end. Ellen Chan and Michael Wong, who plays Fook Tin, are pretty good together. So, its your decision. I think you should check it out, unless you abhor violence in film.
