      Can You Say Over the Top?
      Maverick cop Cheng is briefly jailed when his reckless actions against a vicious gang accidentally get a fellow officer killed, but he is released for lack of evidence and is determined to track down the gang leader Jiang, a fisherman who covets his crime boss's stash of gold. Trouble is, the gold is hidden in international waters, and there's a typhoon on the way....I don't see many action films, in fact usually only see international ones at FantAsia, so I don't know if it's standard for such films to be so completely over the top - as in, how can the (anti)hero survive *that*? In this case, it's that both villain and anti-hero seem able to stay underwater for, oh, 15 minutes or so without the benefit of scuba diving equipment, for example. Certainly the action is constant and keeps ratcheting up, but the characters are all scumbags and at some point I lost interest in the film and, well, I also lost my suspension of disbelief.
