Review of the film "Terror Squad" (Terror Squad, 1988) by NapoleonDinamitte

I study world history through action films, however... It turns out that the conflict between the United States and Libya is much older than the 2011 bombings. Already in the 80s, Ronnie began to question Gaddafi for international terrorism. But the even-tempered boy Muammar did not ring the botalov in vain...

Review of the film "Charisma" (1996) by NapoleonDinamitte

I am not yet familiar enough with Korean cinema to consider “Charisma” in a retrospective manner, they say, this is what the art of the Land of Morning Freshness was like before the Korean New Wave, and now, they say, let’s take a look at the comparison table for pre-wave and wave films...

Review of the film "Russian Raid" (2020) by NapoleonDinamitte

Here he is, finally. Russian action movie of category B. Category A sometimes makes itself felt, breaks its face on a box office failure and hides for an indefinite period, category C happily lives a unique life...

Review of the film "Collectors 2" (2020) by NapoleonDinamitte

It didn’t immediately dawn on me why the first “Collectors” were so good. It’s one thing to mindlessly get high from watching or re-watching, it’s quite another to figure out what the secret of magnificence is. It seems like an ordinary action movie, so ordinary that in this formulation lies...

Review of the film "Tyler Rake: Rescue Operation" (2020) by NapoleonDinamitte

The favorite genre does not live on action alone. A comedy action film needs humor, a gritty film needs drama. Without them, the film turns into a video game, where, let’s say, dozens of warriors, complex tricks, beautiful guns and delicious explosions flash, but all this is perceived coolly. Because...

Steve and Roy are police brothers, only Steve works in Hong Kong and Roy works in Los Angeles. At one time, Roy's partner Bucky caught and hid in the zugunder the especially dangerous bandit Hawk. Four years later, literally the day after his release, he kills Bucky...

Review of the film "Above the Law 2: Blonde Fury" by NapoleonDinamitte

Hong Kong in the 80s and 90s was an amazing place. Imagine a geographically small city in which every day the filming of another film is certainly taking place somewhere. It doesn't matter which section of production you're in...

Review of the film "Triads: Den of the Mafia" (1994) by NapoleonDinamitte

Inspector Lee's squad receives information about the whereabouts of the dangerous criminal Rusty, but the operation to capture the bandit and his accomplices does not go as smoothly as we would like, and the scoundrel goes into hiding with his girlfriend. The investigators have few leads, witnesses refuse to speak...

Review of the film "Under Police Protection" (1989) by NapoleonDinamitte

Two police officers are tasked with protecting an important witness in the case of the influential gangster Tung. On the way, their convoy is attacked by mercenaries on a tip from the big boss. The partners manage to fight off the attackers, and after killing one...

Review of the film "Beauty Inspector" (1992) by NapoleonDinamitte

1992 is the best year in the history of combat cinema. These twelve months showed the world record-breaking, in my opinion, indicators for the quality of the genre. It was not the States who took Prima. Having secured it with reinforced concrete...

Review of the film "Action Jackson" (1988) by NapoleonDinamitte

Eclecticism is far from a frequent guest in the world of cinema. Of course, purely genre films have dominated and will continue to dominate: if a poster, synopsis or word of mouth introduces the target audience of a particular genre...

Review of the film "Full Contact" (1992) by NapoleonDinamitte

I first watched this film several years before writing this review. I was already familiar with Hong Kong, but superficially. Not John Woo, not Corey Yuen, not Sammo Hungg, not others...
