This is Hong Kong action for the year 2000. The misadventures of Jack, Match and Alien are both humorous and entertaining.
Although the script isn't exactly Oscar worthy material, it's fresh and exciting, and more importantly a lot of fun to watch in action! The action scenes were done quite well, and the acting in this film surprised me. I wasn't expecting anything special, but Nicholas Tse and Stephen Fung did a great job. Sam Lee was less interesting, but funny throughout the film. Toru Nakamura is a fantastic bad guy, and Jackie Chan's cameo appearance was humorous and well placed.
Overall, although occasionally a little silly, Gen X Cops is very entertaining and definitely worth a view. 8 out of 10.

"The Suspect", Ringo Lam's recent crime drama, is a movie that should please fans of "The Fugitive" or other Lam films.
The character depth is pretty thin, but the plot makes up for it. It moves at a fairly even pace, and it doesn't get boring. Action wise, its competent, but it certainly is no John Woo movie. Anybody watching this looking for an exciting action movie will be disappointed. However, there's some decent acting and even above-par dubbing, a rarity for sure.
Overall, nothing special, but if your into Hong Kong cinema, it's definitely worth a rent.
