davyu-73849 I had had a hopeful expectation about this movie since its cast are all Asian-Americans, I had really wanted this movie to succeed so that Asian-Americans actors and actresses could get more spotlight in the mainstream American media. Unfortunately, I was utterly disappointed, to the point that I had thought about turning it off. Clearly, it was like a B-rated movie or a budget movie. I don't want to spoil the plot for you and I just wish that directors and casts had done more and put in more investments and efforts into this movie.

The Couchpotatoes I read a lot of negative comments about this movie and I wonder why? Because honestly I was entertained during the whole movie. It changes from the usual Italian or Irish gangster stuff. This time it's about the Chinese Mafia with different gangs trying to recruit new members from the illegal immigrants circuit. The story is about two young friends that are made gangsters and you can follow their life when they are grown up. The fact that Martin Scorsese produced this movie also tells you that the story won't be bad otherwise he would not be interested in producing this. Seeing how New Yorks Chinatown took over like almost the whole Little Italy streets tells you also something about that you shouldn't mess with the Chinese triads. Glad they made a movie about those gangs instead of the usual Mafiosi stuff.

Wizard-8 Despite Martin Scorsese being the executive producer and Ray Liotta having a role, "Revenge of the Green Dragons" doesn't seem to have received much of a theatrical release (if any) in North America. It doesn't take long to figure out why - the movie simply isn't very good. I'm not saying there isn't any merit to be found. Some of the acting by the largely no-name cast is fine, and directors Wai-Keung Lau and Andrew Loo do manage to inject a little stylishness despite their low budget. But for the most part, the movie's low budget does show, particularly with the extremely tight direction - I almost suffered from a case of claustrophobia with everything so closely filmed. But the movie also suffers script problems. None of the characters are fleshed out enough to give us a good idea as to their backgrounds or what they are thinking or feeling. I simply didn't care one way or another about these guys. As a result, the movie becomes extremely tiresome very quickly, and you'll be impatiently waiting for it to come to its end.

pelican_man This has to be hands down one of the most awful movies which I have seen - sitting down in anticipation of a movie in the mould of a Scorcese or Infernal Affairs has left me bitter bitterly disappointed, the storyline is embellished with fabrications and half-lies of events occurring throughout that age as to taint the history of the time. many of the plot lines and screenplay is either blatantly false or laughably implausible as to push the envelope of truth as far as possible - do not watch this as it will also leave you feeling as hollow as the acting. do NOT bother with this movie
