Customer Reviews of Downtown Torpedoes
Entertaining flick, but DVD is so-so A hip, modern Hong Kong flick inspired by Mission:Impossible (and more fun), that manages to be big, flashy, and entertaining. Fast-paced action, excellent editing, cool stunts, and energetic direction make it feel like a slick, animated Japanese cartoon. Particularly noteable is Jordan Chan in the film, who does much of the movie's cool fights, dodging, and running. Takeshi Kaneshiro, however, doesn't do much here, other than look pretty for the female audience. Needless to say, at around 90 minutes, you won't get a whole lot of character development, but there's plenty intriquite action, nice European locations, twists with plenty plot-holes (yet "cool" nevertheless). If you're looking for substance in your film, you won't find it here, but you will get a "fun," entertaining, spy flick with speedy Hong Kong action, at least more entertaining than a James Bond flick (although it makes just about as much sense). Not bad if you want to be entertained for 90 minutes. As for the DVD: The DVD I got didn't have any extras, which was a shame. The english subtitles were part of the image.
Quite interesting... but that's it.
As far as I know, this movie was incredibly influenced by "Mission Impossible" (the first one) with Tom Cruise. Well, I may say that this movie is kinda like that with more HK style action and humour. So it's quite exciting to watch after all.
But as for an entertaining action "blockbuster typr" movie, this one's story was quite a little bit too complicated and too up-and-down. But who cares, when Takeshi Kaneshiro is in there?
Interesting movie
I really enjoyed this film although some of the technology seemed a little far-fetched. It had a lot of hongkong type action and a lot of flash in it. I have watched the show several times and have found it to be quite entertaining. I suppose the presence of my favourite actors helped a bit, Jordan Chan and Takeshi Kaneshiro!
