Wesley's Mysterious Files

Rating:
Summary: Shockingly bad
Review: A big fan of Shu Qi which drew me to this movie. It was a big disappointment. Highschool plays could delivery better performance in term of acting. Story line is stupid with really cheap special effects. Please save your money. I rented this movie for $1.99 and still regret the money that I spent.

Summary: WHAT was THAT?!?!?
Review: Mix "Men in Black" with "The X Files" and "Terminator", add some really badly-translated subtitles and dubbed English dialogue, and you have a flick that doesn't even need the 'bots of Mystery Science Theater 3000 to make it funny. Andy Lau has nobody to blame for this stinkeroo but himself - lead actor AND director. Although the date given for this film is 1993, [one website] tags it as a 2002 film. And, as the reviewer there notes, this film is "deep hurting." This one is strictly for (unintentional) laughs.

Summary: Hong Kong sci-fi fare...
Review: Not as bad as they say it is, but still far from the pinnacle of your sci-fi mysteries. The worse actor here is the rotund Wong Jing, who plays a cameo, and is both unfunny and crass. Again Andy Lau gets to play the man who can do no wrong, the heroic scientist-investigator Wesley, who is part of the UN extra-terrestial department (that's what the movie says). The film is a sort of toss-up between "Men in Black" and "Terminator II"; there are good aliens (one played by Rosamund Kwan, who plays a 400-year-old blue-blooded alien) and (very) bad aliens, and there're plenty of special effects and computer morphing a la Terminator II style. The production value is admirable, but what most Western viewers won't get is the story. Shu Qi is gorgeous (as always), but even she can't give this film a 100% kudos.
