Treasure Hunt (Special Edition) Reviews
A Real Pleasure
I love this film! It has just the right blend of comedy, action and romance. With a little fantasy thrown in. Chow Yun Fat is very good as the somewhat confused CIA agent sent to China to recover a "treasure". The main story takes place at a temple with a cute little boy monk among all the adults. The "treasure" turns out to be a strange young woman and the two have many adventures on the way to falling in love. A real gem for mature women fans of CYF.
and I consider myself a HUGE Chow Yun Fat fan...
Being what I consider to be a huge fan of Chow Yun Fat, (and Hong Kong cinema at large) I'm disappointed to tell you this movie was an erratic, paceless, passionless exercise in BAD romantic comedy... with some monks, supernatural powers, and bad dialogue thrown in for good measure. The only redeeming quality for this film, is obviously Chow Yun Fat. Sadly, his valiant attempts to save this film from itself fail utterly. There are enjoyable moments... interactions between Chow's character, and the monks he is inexplicably living with (what's his cover again?)... but for the life of me, I want desperately to know who made the Baseball uniforms with SHAOLIN written on the back... and why were there 40 monks on the playing field? I'm glad it's part of my DVD collection, but only as an example of cinema gone horrbly awry. 2 stars because Chow Yun Fat demeaned himself to appear in it (and that was the good news). Go out and get "The Killer," and "Hard Boiled," to fully appreciate Chow Yun Fat's great on screen presence before you delve into this film.
