Young and Dangerous 3

Part three of the infamous Young and Dangerous franchise does what a good sequel should do. It rehashed the concept of the precious parts, but it adds a lot to the lore and the characters of the series. It's a solid film that will please fans of Hong Kong crime cinema, but it's not something that sticks out as too remarkable or high quality.

Ho Nam is still rising in the ranks of the Hung Hing Triad. He was made leader of the Causeway Bay area, but this also puts a target on his back. Nam is held responsible for the assassination of one of the other leaders, concocted by some of his adversaries. He'll have to do his very best to clear himself of the accusations raised against him.

This third part feels familiar and doesn't tinker too much with the core elements of this series. It sticks with its primary cast, it adds a few new adversaries, and off we go for 100 minutes of betrayal and murder. It's pleasant crime fare that banks on familiarity and pacing, setting things up for better sequels to come. Another solid entry in the franchise.
