Summary: I liked it!
Review: It surprised me, but I liked it! I put off getting this DVD because I had been disappointed before with HK action movies. Grim, brutal and usually ending in a bloodbath of some sort, with low production qualities and nil storyline in some cases, or just very hard to follow! However, this one is really good. though it was a bit confusing to follow at first. But I am really getting tired of Hollywood movies - they all seem the same to me with their jazzed up special effects at the expense of the story. This movie had SFX but not too much. I liked the young actors and hope to see more of them in future. Sam Lee was especially funny and I suppose the "teeny-boppers" will sigh over Nick Tse and Steven Fung. Eric Tsang was as zany as usual (I have seen him before in comedies). But the moody Japanese villian Akatora almost stole the show. You almost felt sorry for him in the end. Another surprise was the tense undercurrent between Jack and Lok (the Chinese villian). They seemed to almost be friends, Lok even saving Jack's life! Loved the cameo by Jackie Chan at the end. (He's still my favourite HK action star!) But a a very good movie, good action and acting. It looks like the HK action movie genre is really picking up it's act with good storylines PLUS great action.

But to summon it up; Great movie, but average DVD. eXistenZ

Summary: Awful: cheap and cheesy.
Review: Okay: plot - incomprehensible and stupid; dialogue - trite, hackneyed, inexplicably often in English and not always terribly good English (why can't they just use Cantonese or Japanese for goodness' sakes?), in particular Akatora; special effects - really quite cheap, the much-vaunted HK$30m is only £3m, after all; incidental music - EVERY time there is a badly scripted romantic clinch between Stephen Fung and Jaymee Ong (an underdeveloped, badly acted and unconvincing plot line if ever there was one) you get a high pitched guitar instrumental which is incredibly CLICHÉD: just stop it, all right? It is only worth watching for a comedy turn as a SWAT commander by HK movie expert Bey Logan. However, we can be thankful that the film was at least dubbed into Cantonese with full lip-synch as opposed to the more regular half a minute out dialogue. Don't even think about risking the English dubbed version. In the end, the only Generation-X hero worth watching is the remarkably young Jet Li in Once Upon a Time in China 1 & 2. Which are both runaway five-star efforts.

Summary: big budget movie from Jackie Chan!!!
Review: really, this is what Mod Squad aimed for!
rebellious/punk police cadets Jack (Nicholas Tse), Match (Stephen Fung), and Alien (Sam Lee) are recruited by somewhat retarded cop Eric Tsang to go undercover as gangstaz. helping them is Y2K (Grace Yip), a teenybopper hacker who's their eyes and ears and whose bro was killed by Akatora. Hopefully, these brash kids will be able to take down vicious punk Daniel Daniel Wu), who's connected to evil arms dealer Akatora (Toru Nakamura). does the plot seem whack and out of this world?? thankfully, Benny Chan is the director so you know you can expect a lot of fun/actions. Stephen Fung speaks english really well. And Nicholas Tse was very good in this movie.Not as good as in Y&D;Prequel but he had his moments. Sam lee is just hilarious as Alien.
So despite of all the flaws and trying to be like an hollywood blockbuster, Gen-X-cops does meet your satisfactions

Summary: cheesy
Review: The Gen-X Cops filmmakers hired the special effects team behind Independence Day to blow up the Hong Kong Convention Center in the end. Kinda like that film, this movie is pretty brainless, with most of its focus on giving its characters Gen-X attitudes, and staging fights and shootouts that range from decent to weak. The movie involves a set of young and rebellious Gen-X cops that are given an undercover mission of recovering a shipment of explosives. They follow a guy named Daniel and are lead to a Yakuza bad guy (I don't remember the name) and blah blah blah, the plot is mad dumb. But you might end up drawn to the film's characters and some of the action scenes as well. Go to Blockbuster and rent the movie first. The subtitles are corny but aren't that bad and half the movie was actually filmed in English anyway. Also watch the film for Toru Nakamura, who plays the Yakuza bad guy and delivers his lines in Japanese and English. His acting is so ghostly, he steals almost every scene he's in. Also check out Jaymee Ong, an Australian actress who is so damn gorgeous, if I was a filmmaker I'd put her in every movie I made. I want Jaymee Ong. Anyhow, it was a nice corny diversion for a couple hours. I won't be watching it again though. Maybe the scene with Jaymee Ong dancing in the club, but that's it.

Summary: Hong Kong action flick
Review: This is one of my favorite movies, if you've ever seen Time and tide you'll love this. or if you've seen Metal mayhem on the sci-fi channel then you'll love this. Especially since metal mayhem was the sequal( originaly titled Gen Y cops overseas)
Over all Nicholas Tse is one of the best actors with some [hecka] pimp hair,Aliens a trip, and match is match.
Anyway if u like action films w/ martial arts( bruce lee, jacky chan, jet Li, chow yun fat, ext) this is pretty good, if u like movies with clint eastwood stay away.

Summary: The next generation of Hong Kong films
Review: This Jackie Chan-produced film is a wonderfully entertaining taste of the next generation of Hong Kong films. This film has a very MTV feel to it, the way it fuses popular music, fashion and martial arts. The script is forgettable, but who cares. Even the fight scenes aren't as crisp as anything Chan would do, but, once again, who cares. This movie is meant to be a one-and-a-half hour daydream, and it works. Highly recommended!

Review: This movie is a great movie. It made me laugh so hard that my face just stayed screwed that way for some minutes. At first I mistook Toru Nakamura for Takeshi Sorimachi but hehehe...They both look nice...p^_^q. I love how Toru Nakamura's character is calm. And Daniel Wu looked adorable with that smile of his...

Summary: Highly entertaining
Review: This movie is a success at what it attempts to be: a high-octane, bullet-riddled, stunts-galore, action-packed, youth-themed, glossy Hollywood-style bonanza. We're talking skydiving scenes (never attempted in an HK film until now), detailed exploding miniatures, gun-fights on top of gun-fights, special effects, quick-cut filmmaking, and a cast of characters so huge it must have been a nightmare to coordinate them all. I must say that this is a very "Hollywood" movie. No great character development, no scenes of dramatic dialogue exposition, and no worries about recycling a few Woo cliches. But it works! It works perfectly! Honestly, there is not a bad actor present in this film. Despite the relative lack of depth in individual characters because of the multitudes of them, it really doesn't hinder the movie. Remember that the 3 main leads are all relative newcomers to the acting world, so their performances are all the more impressive. And if I took anything away from the behind-the-scenes special (included on the DVD, an appreciated and lengthy extra) it seemed like the cast and crew really gave this movie 110%. The kids did most of their own stunts, and the special effects and skydiving scenes were handled by Americans with impressive credits to their name. The dedication really shows through in the film, definitely a rock-solid, top-rank production all the way through. The only reason I could see for not enjoying this is if you were expecting to see something deep in character development and pathos, like John Woo's The Killer. Gen-X Cops is a glossy film, to be sure, and in that respect in does not disappoint. Just don't go in expecting to see copious amounts of plot development, or magnificent stretches of oratory. This is an action movie, albeit with much more gun sequences than real martial arts moves (another thing that might annoy devotees of the Jet Li school of Hong Kong cinema.) But if you don't go in expecting Citizen Kane, and can let go enough to let the movie take you away in a hail of gunfire, then this is one of the best HK movies ever filmed. Jackie Chan fans should be ecstatic.
