We're Going to Eat You

A weird genre-bender from Hark. The mix of genres isn't too uncommon of course, Hong Kong loves to blend action, comedy, and horror, but the film was a bit grittier than I expected it to be. Mind, this is according to Hong Kong standards. Don't go in expecting a bona fide, all-guns-blazing, horror film or you'll be sorely disappointed.

A detective and a thief travel together in chase of a wanted criminal. They follow him to a remote island, where they hope to corner him. Once they arrive on the island they quickly notice something is off. They landed on an island full of cannibals, so survival suddenly becomes the number one priority.

I expected a little more after Hark's previous film, but this is still good fun. The martial arts stand out as the best part, but the comedy is pretty funny too. The music is quite loud and crazy, but it does add something unique to the film, which doesn't happen too often in Hong Kong cinema. Far from his best work, but if you're looking for something frantic and entertaining, you could do a whole lot worse.
