Creepy Concept, Lackluster Story: A Movie Review of “Come Play”
"Come Play" was entertaining and had some great ideas about how to scare children away from playing with facial recognition settings.
Killing Me Hardly
Fu Pui-yu directs this low-budget, critically panned Hong Kong knockoff of Charlie's Angels, about a shadowy figure named Charlie who dictates over a trio of voluptuous crime-fighters named Sunny (Jade Leung Ching), Moony (Christine Ng Wing-mei), and Starry (Paulyn Suen Kai-kwun). While being followed by nebbish journalist Bob (Michael Chow Man-kin) and coping with their own personal issues, the three are being targeted by Andy, a crazed arms-dealer who is seeking vengeance on Charlie for the death of his wife following a particularly ugly FBI raid years previous. Since Charlie's a hard man to find, the villain takes his wrath out on his friends and employees -- especially his three angels.
