Review

 

Seoul Raiders is the sequel to director Jingle Ma's hugely successful blockbuster Tokyo Raiders. Tony Leung reprises his role as Japanese special agent Lam, this time on an intricate search for a pair of "Avenger" plates used for the making of counterfeit U.S. currency. During the hunt, he comes across foxy lady JJ (Shu Qi), and US Embassy staff member Owen (Richie Ren), who manages to con the plates out of Lam and flee to Korea. Lam and JJ immediately follow Owen to Korea, only to be confronted by the legendary kingpin known as Polar Bear, the head of the largest counterfeit organization in Asia...

Set amidst Seoul's clean urban cityscape, Seoul Raiders features the same winning mixture of dapper, tongue-in-cheek comedy and energetic action sequences as the original Tokyo Raiders! Tony Leung returns with his unparalleled screen charisma, and Richie Ren and Shu Qi are perfect foils to Leung's suave, too-cool international spy.

Full of non-stop action and comedy, this is what Hong Kong movies are all about: big stars, big laughs, big action, and plenty of crowd-pleasing fun!

Seoul Raiders has all the makings of a Jackie Chan movie, if you will forgive the generalisation I will explain. Firstly, it has allot of action, but most of the combat scenes are basic and the female fights seem thrown in for a bit of sex appeal. The comedy likewise, while at times genuinely giggle worthy, is never laugh out loud funny. It has the same smirky, childish humour of many 80's Chan movies.

Essentially the film entertains but the backing track, camera work, special effects, fight scenes and script are all hampered by a low budget. Tony is charismatic as ever but even he becomes a little tired in what is a by the numbers action comedy.
