yossarian100 From being inside a gun as it fires to finding myself in the middle of a gunfight while a young woman is giving birth, she being one of the participants of said gunfight, Seunlau ngaklau is one of the most amazing mind blowing action movies I think I've ever seen. I didn't always understand what was going on but that in no way prevented me from totally enjoying myself. Filled with incredible action sequences, mind blowing stunts, and interesting characters, Seunlau ngaklau is up there on the same level with Matrix, without appearing at all artificial or contrived.

Jordan-M The first time I saw this was on Cable TV at 2 AM. I stayed up because I had never heard of the movie before, and the summary said that Nic Tse (one of my favorite young HK actors) was the lead role. Plus, it's directed by Tsui Hark - who has done excellent work with The Legend Of Zu and other such movies. So, I felt inclined to watch. I had almost fallen asleep, but as soon as the opening credits kicked in, I was wide awake.The following are some statements that ran through my head while watching..."Hey, the main character isn't invincible!" "Alleyway full of grenades?! This won't be pretty." "Wow, shopping mall action! Escalators are more fun than I thought!" "Oh my GOD... Are they having a gunfight on the side of a building?" "Refrigerators: Sensible AND Safe!" "I need to go to a Cantonpop show!"There were plenty more, you can trust me on that. Needless to say, I went out the next day and bought the DVD. I have watched Time and Tide over 10 times now, and it still hasn't gotten dull. I guess this movie just ended up being that entertaining. It gets my highest recommendation - so go out and see it. Go on, do yourself a favor and see what HK cinema is really capable of!"Time And Tide" Caught My Attention, And Never Let Go. It Still HAS My Attention, I Think.

George Parker "Time and Tide" does have a plot but it's inconsequential and soon buried in shell casings. However, what the film lacks in budget and drama it makes up for with a intensity, verve, and a creative edge which is excessive but fresh enough to prevent the usual numbing that goes with hyperkinetic action flicks. The focus in "T'NT" is the firefight with stunts galore while the more costly car chases/crashes are kept to a minimum and the still more costly big pyro blowups artificially produced. "TNT" also has a pervasive sense of humor manifested in one scene where a woman gives birth while shooting or visa-versa and another in which a man avoids the effects of tear gas by wearing a plastic bag over his head (duh). Fun stuff with flying-fu, rappelling, a army-sized SWAT team, endless heavies, and a couple of protagonists who are always in the thick of it. For action junkies only. (B-)Note: The version I Tivo'd was dubbed and there were big discrepancies between the dubbing and the closed captions. For example: The dubbed "This is no flea market" translated in CC to "This is like buying vegetables".

Tyler Durden-6 The best HK action film i've seen in a while. The camera work is amazing and the action is absolutely entertaining. Better then all those Matrix-HK action flicks wannabes movies from Hollywood (Swordfish, Exit Wounds and all that crap). Tsui Hark disappointed us with his movies from his Hollywood era but he sure impresses a lot now with that masterpiece of the 21st century in action flicks. Hail to the king Tsui Hark. John Woo has some work to do now if he wants to challenge Hark.
