Product: Michelle Yeoh Action Series [VHS]
Rating: 3.0
Not cinematic magic, but has redeeming qualities
I actually enjoyed this movie more than its prequel, "The Heroic Trio". Usually sequels are lost on me, but there was something a little more honest about this film than the first. The characters are grittier, the plot less focused on gags and cheesy jokes. Anita Mui does a great job with the dramatic material, as does Michelle Yeoh (I would've asked for more of Michelle than her counterpart Maggie Cheung, but oh well).There are still moments where the plot does not add up and things happen simply for dramatic effect, but the movie as a whole works better (in my opinion) than the first. Be prepared for a pretty depressing ending, though.Still... 3 out of 5 stars.
