Black Cat Reviews
Nothing spectacular but worth a view
I've always liked seeing flicks with chicks that kick a**. Thus, my spirits were high going into this film.
Reading the description on the box pretty muched summed up the whole film. IT'S A REMAKE OF LA FEMME NIKITA. Not that this is bad, it's just that it isn't very original.
Yes, Jade does most of her stunts, and quite impressive to say the least. I just wish that the character could have been devolped more in the beginning of the film so we could feel for the character more.
Nothing groundbreaking, but still deserves a look.
New Twist to an Old Tale
First off, make sure that you buy the original release that Amazon offers, not the new English dubbed DVD release. Well, in the grand tradition of Hong Kong Action films to remake American and other films, Black Cat is the remake of the French film La Femme Nikita (The American version, Point of No Return, was the third in this series of remakes). Anyway...Black Cat stars Jade Leung in the starring role of a bad grrrl transformed into a top notch assassin for a top secret organization. The Hong Kong twist is that a computer chip called a Black Cat is implanted into Leung's brain, augmenting her abilities, and making her the great assasin that she is. This film has all the drama and action of La Femme Nikita, plus more. Simon Yam stars as Leung's mentor and controller. All in all a good film. If you've seen La Femme Nikita or Point of No Return, then you already know the plot and ending to this particular film, but give the HK version a chance. They take a proven storyline and do their magic with it.
