Leave your thoughts about Shock Wave.
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferA taut crime thriller with just the right blend of action, suspense, and pathos. |
| CinapseEd TravisAll Shock Wave really has going for it is scope and spectacle, which you can get in any big dumb American blockbuster, and Lau's upright handsomeness and bravado, which you can also get in much better films. |
| AV ClubIgnatiy Vishnevetsky... unapologetic piece of B-movie termite art... |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeYau stands out in the Hong Kong crowd for his willingness to blend two very different styles of filmmaking: the traditional Chinese epic drama and the high octane thrillers that pull in the crowds today. |
| Hollywood ReporterElizabeth KerrThe latest schlocky actioner by B-master Herman Yau, Shock Wave is a workmanlike (yet protracted) genre entertainment that benefits from knowing precisely what it is and its place in the cinematic hierarchy. |
| The Straits Times (Singapore)Boon ChanThis is a workman-like and heavy-handed effort that is unlikely to knock anyone's socks off. |
| User Reviewc yEnjoyable, taut, well-acted, but imperfect |
| User ReviewJohn H1/3/2017 This movie has Oriental action splattered all over it from beginning to end and set in the quite busy Hong Kong setting. So much so that even if the story is very much original and clever, there's a nagging feeling it is just an iteration of something you've seen before. The definite consolation is definitely it being bannered by one of 90's hottest crooners, Andy Lau. |
