Naked Soldier (2012)

Naked Killer (1992) was entertaining and Naked Weapon (2002) was tolerable. but Naked Soldier is almost unwatchable. It has some excellent stunt work in the last half hour but it’s wasted because it’s captured so badly; it’s on a par with most cheap American action movies. I miss the days when Chinese action cinema kicked all kinds of ass.
If Jennifer Tse avoids crap like this in future she might go far.
Somehow it also managed to attract the talents of Sammo Hung and Anthony Wong Chau-Sang. I’m a fan of both those guys, but Sammo is the only one of the two that comes out the other side with dignity intact.
