It’s essentially the cops and their associates versus a Japanese bad guy and his gorgeous female assassin. An international terrorist steals a nuclear weapon from South Korea, so a bunch of Korean cops head over to Hong Kong to help the locals get it back.

I should have been warned with mainland China AND America given as linked production countries because this has a choppy, all-over-the-place feel to it. HELIOS is a mixed bag Hong Kong crime thriller with international touches. But if the filmmakers make the sequel to Cold War, that would be a different story.

The only consolation is that we had free passes to the movie. We would be dumbasses if we even buy tickets for the sequel.

Damn hate seeing the puppeteers’ strings, heck I think they are more like ropes than strings.Īs if one movie is not enough, the movie ends on a contrived cliffhanger note that screams in your face that this is just the first act of a longer film. After awhile we already knew who Helios is way before the fella was revealed. I couldn’t care for anyone and I didn’t mind if all the idiots die. Every character acts and looks like they are double-crossers or triple-crossers. Other than the nationalities I mentioned, there are Turkish, Sikh, Caucasians and they even parachute in Americans and Anglo Saxsons, verbally. The plot is unnecessarily convoluted when it should be immediate. Nothing here coalesce in any meaningful way. The action scenes, the story idea, I have seen before in better lesser films. If you take that redundant scene out, I have a feeling the film would have tightened up more. IMHO the entire Macau episode is one long and useless scene. I give one example – the filmmakers feel a need to humanize Chang Chen’s villain that they write the Macau scene.

If I see the strings of the puppeteer, the game is over. Second rule for me is I never want to see the strings. That made me feel so dumb and when I watch a movie that is one feeling I never want to have. Then right at the end of the movie somebody has the bright idea to put title cards to show the statistics of the what if disaster if the bomb did explode. At one time I even turned to my wife and said “I seriously hope Hong Kong gets entirely destroyed”. For example, everybody keeps proclaiming the power of the bomb but I just couldn’t feel the danger. First rule of the thumb is show me, don’t tell me. There is so much lambo humbo mambo jumbo spewing out which might as well be nonsense to me. The actors talk and talk non-stop in such an overly serious tone and wear one single frowning/brooding/angry/nondescript expression throughout. Review – The whole movie is based on a MacGuffin which at first I thought is a weapon, but later on it becomes a criminal mastermind. Despite their efforts, the elusive criminal mastermind, Helios, is always a step ahead of Lee.

He enlists physics professor Siu (Jacky Cheung) as an adviser and has to work with South Korean weapon experts Choi (Ji Jin Hee) and Pok (Choi Si Won). As the weapon will change hands in Hong Kong, Lee (Nick Cheung) from the territory’s Counter Terrorism Response Unit sets up a task force, which includes police officer Fan (Shawn Yue), to deal with the crisis.
