Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
From a 2014 point of view Full Contact is outdated. The camera work and the action itself doesn't look unique. There are some interesting camera angles at the end, but it still looks old. Even the bullet shots look outdated. If this movie was released in the US, it would automatically fall in the B-movie category, quite rightfully. Full Contact has plenty of action, but after seeing lots of action movies, it doesn't stand out from the crowd. The other aspects of the movie didn't add any value, though I found them to be much less significant.Despite the higher rating of Full Contact, I think his Van Damme projects were better. Well at least it is true for Maximum Risk.Finally, if you're expecting John Woo's kind of action here, don't. I have recently watched Hard Boiled (for the third time). Having the same release year as Full Contact, it still manages to look very solid (actually it's quite an understatement for Hard Boiled). In fact, all of the better known John Woo movies from Hong Kong are far better. Full Contact is OK for the action, just don't expect it to be what it's not.
To help a friend who's heavily in debt to a loan shark, Jeff (Chow Yun Fat) joins up with the gay villain, Judge (Simon Yam), for a weapons heist where he'll be double-crossed by who he thought was a friend who joined the gang with him. This wouldn't be an action film if he were to simply let bygones be bygones of course, so he plans a mighty vengeance against all who betrayed him. This is pretty standard revenge movie stuff, it's saved, however, by the great action scenes as well as well as Yun Fat's performance (excellent as always, well at least before he made the jump to Hollywood who always seem to make amazingly great foreign movie star into lesser than what the can be) My Grade: B Mei AhDVD Extras: Theatrical Trailer; and Trailers for "Swordsman 2" & "Treasure Hunt"
This is a great movie. I saw it on dvd and was stunned, a well written story that isn´t afraid to go all the way. I won´t get in to the plot since it´s well described in other reviews. It´s very well made, and you don´t have to be a fan of HongKong-action movies to appreciate it.A must-see that raises the bar.
Very good movie, action scenes are on the top of the line, very stylish jut like The Killer (another, and probably the best Chow Yun Fat as of yet), the plot is very powerful as well as it is focusing on Friendship, Betrayal, and Cowardness. The good thing is that it is unpredictable based on Jeff's friend's cowardness, but just wish for the best, i'm not going to give out any spoilers.all in all, this is a must see movie, in fact all chow yun fat's movies are a must see, but i usually prefer the collaboration of CYF with John Woo, but Ringo Lam directs this piece very well and i must say it is the second best CYF movie i've seen and i've seen many of his movies and i have never rated one of his movies under 8, so i'm going to go ahead and give this a 10.
