Big Heat, The (1988, HGK) C-95m. *** D: Andrew Kam, Johnny To. Starring Waise Lee, Philip Kwok, Chu Kong, Ken Boyle, Roy Cheung, Kirk Wong. Tsui Hark. Lee plays a troubled cop, who is about to resign, when he learns of the murder of a friend by a crime syndicate. Along with three colleagues he takes up the task to bust their boss. Somewhat familiar plot, but film is well-directed, has some good action, and it also includes some softer tones. Convincing performance by Lee (A BETTER TOMORROW, BULLET IN THE HEAD). Recommended viewing. Producer Hark reportedly also directed some parts.
