Invisible Target

Invisible Target Synopsis (from Yesasia)
Loose cannon cop Chan Chun (Nicholas Tse) is perpetually on the edge, having lost his fiancée when she was killed during an armored car heist. Six months later, Chan finally gets a lead on the perpetrators, a gang of vicious Mainland thieves, led by the deadly duo of Wu Jing and Andy On. The thieves are looking for the mysterious person (or the "invisible target") who masterminded the original heist, and then took the money and betrayed their gang - and they're willing to take down as many cops as they need to gain their revenge. Chan wants them caught, but he's not the only one out for justice; the tough and smartly-dressed Inspector Fong Yik Wei (Shawn Yue) also wants a piece of the action, and rookie cop Wai King Ho (Jaycee Chan) suspects that the thieves may have something to do with his brother, a missing undercover cop. Individually, the three cops can't stop these guys, but through teamwork, righteous determination, and plenty of head-busting, flying-fists action, they just might stand a chance.


My comments:
This movie is actually 130 minutes long but I didn’t feel so when I watched it. It did have some draggy scenes with some preachy talk but still an entertaining movie overall. Lots of explosions and bullets here for those who love action movies and there were some over the top action sequence, featuring the guys flying (er…I mean jumping) from one thing to another! I can see that the guys put a lot of efforts on the stunts, well they were believable at least. It’s so easy to guess who the mastermind is and where the money is hidden, so there is no surprise here. But I’m a bit surprised by the ending…aw…so sad! I’m glad that the romance element is light here but it was not really a great idea to cast Elanne Kong as Shawn Yue’s girlfriend. She delivered her lines like she reading straight from the script, in other word very emotionless but she didn’t have much scenes so whatever…Hey, just a shallow comment: I totally enjoy that shirtless moment with the three main guys…haha!

I haven't seen him at all this year. I hope he is well.Throughout his career, Nicholas Tse has been a singer, an actor, a director, a producer, and a composer......a brilliant person
