One of the best films i have seen

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I know, I know. Rosamond Kwan is as useless as **** zits. She is like a loud-mouth parrot on crack. And believe me, nothing was more enjoyable when Donnie finally said to her in his mind (and I'm assuming this) "*****, you annoyed me for the last time," and punched her in the face. But trust me, her uselessness and exasperating nature wasn't even close to ruining what I think was great action movie.Tiger Cage 2 is about Donnie and Rosamond on the run from the cops for a murder they didn't commit (but that part of the story is not really focused) and also trying to recover a **** load of money and dealing with some corrupt guy who was the mastermind behind the murder. What will they do? Ooga Booga! The story does work for what it is even though it is unfocused at times and some of the aspects of the story are not conclusive. The acting is passable except Rosamond who is nothing more than eye-candy who acts as a horrid comic relief. But the action is where this movie really shines. It is practically non-stop and all of it was fantastic. Most of the action is martial arts fighting and does have some gun fighting and the choreography is wonderful. BUT (!!!!) what is up with that sword fighting scene? That was my main curiosity for this movie and I wasn't disappointed. In fact I liked it a lot but it is a little over-hyped. I would put it in maybe top 100 best fight scenes ever but I seen better. Just an opinion. Sor-ry!In conclusion: Indeed, a wonderful HK action film despite being inconsistent in tone with the story, the always unwanted comedy and that irritant Rosamond Kwan.

Des Mangan said in the intro to this movie that it was basically all action tied together by a few other scenes. When he said this he was not wrong. Tiger Cage II is not a movie about themes but rather a movie with a nice little plot and a lot of action. Even with this there are still things that one can draw out of a movie to tell us about the people around us.A case full of money has been brought to Hong Kong to be laundered but someone in the firm wants the money for himself so betrays them and tries to get the money. Unfortunately the money is hidden and they think that a cop and a female lawyer have something to do with it, but they do not. Thus the two unfortunates find themselves running away from the law and the criminals as they try to stay alive and clear their names.I guess the major thing that comes out of the movie is how money decides the goals of everybody. This money causes people to betray each other, kill each other, and turn those who were good into criminals. The cop and the lawyer are not criminals but were at the wrong place at the wrong time. Fortunately, unlike American movies, the filmmakers reveal a way in which the cop and the lawyer are cleared for the superintendent learns who the guy behind the robbery really is.This movie is simply pure action. There is no reason as to why it is called Tiger Cage II and has absolutely no connection with the previous movie, which was about corruption in the police force. Tiger Cage II is simply a movie with a lot of cool action and one to watch for all of those who love their martial arts and their action.

The plot is shallow and frankly quite tiresome (Donnie Yen and Rosamund Kwan spend most of the running time being chased by the police and the bad guys headed by Robin Shou, until they pick up some friends and decide to fight back), but the fight scenes are often creative (in one, Yen has to fight with only one hand because his other is cuffed to Kwan, so he ends up using her as a weapon as well; another fight takes place on a moving double-decker bus), and some of the moves and stunts are awesome (like when Yen jumps and delivers three kicks in mid-air before landing down, without the help of wires I think). As usual, the best stuff is saved for last, with Yen going one-on-one against firstly John Salvitti in a swordfight, then against Michael Woods (who could be described as a Black Hulk), and finally against Robin Shou (a brief but very fast fight). Rosamund Kwan falls somewhere between shrill and adorable, but mostly on the adorable side; I had seen her in a couple of other films, but I had never noticed before what a beautiful, expressive face she has. Oh, and Cynthia Khan pops up briefly, playing (presumably) the same character as in the "In The Line Of Duty" series (Inspector Yeung), but her part is essentially a cameo. (**1/2)

Oh man this is definitely in my top ten Asian films along with Hard Boiled ,The Killer ,Fist of Legend etc.The fights are awesome even better than the ones in In The Line of Duty IV. Especially Donnie Yen vs Michael Woods is an absolute screen fighting legend.How I wished that Carol 'Do Do' Cheng would play the lead girl instead of Rosamund "I'm the most annoying female lead ever" Kwan. I hated every scene including her. Even her character being clumsy didn't make me smile, made me hate her more.How I wish I could make this movie without her. It would have been 10/10 for sure. I wonder why they cannot make movies like this anymore.An action classic...Unmissable for any HK action fan
