Customer Reviews of Time and Tide
"Jerry Bruckheimer is a two-bit hack!" ...I roared at the tops of my lungs after seeing this movie. Holy Good Gravy, but this was the Platonic Ideal of Action Movies: insane stunts, funny and heartfelt characters, and bullets. Lots and lots of bullets. Tsui Hark is, as the kids today would call him, The Man.
The plot, like any good HK thriller, is only there to service the action, and, boy howdy, there's plenty. Hand-to-hand fights, chases through Kowloon's labyrinthine slums, backwards car chases, and gun fights in places that won't exactly spoil it if I tell you but you'll just have to rent it anyway. Yes, the dubbing and subbing is odd; things in English that may sound cool to someone speaking Cantonese will make no sense to any of the English-native speakers. I'm sure the Spanish is just as munged up. But you know what? Who cares? You see these flicks to get blown away, not to contemplate the existential crises. Rent and watch. And don't drink the entire bar. That's bad.
Very entertaining
This was my first Tsui Hark flick, and ya know what? It was pretty nice. For those of you who like seeing people get shot up, you'll love this, as there are plenty of bullets whizzing around.
What I really enjoyed though, was the relationship between Tyler(one of the main characters) and his lesbian lady cop friend. It was one of the best nice-guy-turned-bodyguard-for-gansters-so-he-can-make-money-to-try-and-take-care-of-this-lesbian-cop-he-knocked-up-but-she's-too-damned-independant-and-proud-(not to mention pissed off)-to-let-some-man(ESPECIALLY a man)-help-her kind of relationship I've ever seen, (and there are so many of those around, aren't there...). Seriously, it was really sweet when the lesbian cop eventually warmed up to Tyler. And the woman who played the lesbian cop was VERY pretty. Sure she was in the movie for like only seven minutes, but she had a very cute smile. So yes, cute lesbian cop smile with lots of guns directed by Tsui Hark merits a well deserved five stars!
Don't waste your time
The movie tried but it failed in my eyes. I gave it a chance, tried to follow what was going on and I couldn't take it anymore. I had to turn it off not baring to watch the last 30 minutes of this movie. It started off pretty good but then it get so choppy you have no clue what is going on and I missed the connection with the characters over all because the movie was taking me down a path I didn't enjoy. What was missing is WHY were all these people here? What was up with the one guy speaking english and spanish? Who was he and what was the point of him being there? Now I tend not to think during movies and enjoy them for what they are, just to let myself get swept away into a different place for a great experience but this movie failed to do it for me.
Don't get me wrong, I love movies like this, I loved such brilliant movies as Eat Drink Man Woman, Bangkok Dangerous (2000), The Road Home to name a few. I'm a sucker for asian/foreign films. If I was choosing a movie just based on how beautiful everyone was, then yeah the only reason I'd chose this film, that is all it has to offer anyone. Disapointed. Just seemed a lot of things were cut out and should have been explained so to keep people hooked and wanting to find out what happens. Just this didn't do it for me and is one I wouldn't recomend to anyone. Looking for a better movie? Check out Bangkok Dangerous (2000), the guys are hot, the plot is great and the action is sizzling. I'm still looking for films that will woo me, this one just didn't do it.
In final thoughts, I would have given this movie 1 star, but I gave this film an extra star for its effort in trying to be good.
