Don't Give a Damn

Weak entry from the Sammo man. The action is explosive enough, although I agree with reviewers who say there could have been more. There are also odd touches that made feel very uncomfortable: a casual remark about recovering from cocaine abuse made in a bar - just before Hung's character gets wasted drunk - is unnecessarily confessional, and in the context of getting blotto makes no sense whatsoever. The 'black-face' gag borders on becoming the very racism it's meant to parody. The relationships between the characters are unclear, and the plot gets overly complicated.

all in all, as a B-movie action flick, it's acceptable for a Saturday afternoon, if you don't to think too much and just want to watch fireworks and listen to Chinese chit-chat - but this is hardly what Sammo Hung's admirers have come to expect from one of the truly exceptional and important actors/directors in Hong Kong film history.
