'L' fung bou

This is the sort of movie fans of Hong Kong crime movies will enjoy. Corruption, action, frenetic pacing and style, it's a formula the HK movie industry used for decades as it delivered consistently entertaining if forgettable entertainment.

This has everything, lots of fighting, cartoon like villains, the gutsy honest cop, beautiful women, excess, financial corruption etc all delivered so quickly and with enough style that you gloss over plot holes and some of the silliness.

If this sounds luke warm or damning with feint praise I will say it is a very entertaining and enjoyable movie which fans of the genre will love. View it as an hour and a half of popcorn entertainment and it's great, there's nothing wrong with easy viewing entertainment but don't expect it to leave a lasting impact or stimulate deep thought.

The negative reviews in here surprise me. I found the first movie in this series, Z Storm, to be a mediocre bore. The sequel, S Storm, was a little better, and didn't bore me to death, but it was still very average. So I was expecting mediocrity from this movie, but was pleasantly surprised. This third movie, L Storm, is the first one in the series that I actually genuinely enjoyed, and to me it is by far the best entry so far. This one has a lot more action in it than both of the other two combined, which makes a big difference, as there is finally some actual suspense to keep your adrenaline going a bit. Various police departments investigating connected cases from different angles was also interesting. I'm going to watch the latest entry in this movie series, P Storm, next. I've also heard there's a G Storm entry coming out in the future. I wonder just how many of these movies they intend to make lol.

L STORM is the third in the long-running series of detective films starring Louis Koo and the first I've actually enjoyed. I found the first one a talky bore, the second one occasionally fun but average, whereas this one hits the mark more often than not. Koo is on a new case where he's investigating money laundering and finds himself up against a new gangster on the block who uses violence to ruthlessly dispatch anyone who goes against him. It's a fast-paced and complex little film with multiple narrative strands including internal affairs investigations and police corruption, and it has a fair bit of physical action to enjoy too.

There are 3 movies in the series. I like very much the 3 male leads. They are all cool, smart and with excellent acting skill. The plot is the biggest weakness. Not logical and reasonable at all. I give 7 simply for the sake of the great performance of male leads and exciting action shots. But in the Mainland China the anti-corruption series is well-received. China is only on the startpoint in anti-corruption work. Hong kong is a good model for her to follow.

The plot of backwardness and anti-intelligence has been 8102 years, and all kinds of digital currencies are almost out of date. Laundry still uses such primitive means. The seemingly tense plot is actually complicated and lack of combing, throwing a paragraph of the plot to the audience to finish.
