Hong Kong Cinema goes recruiting in Japan again, and they come up looking good. Following in the footsteps of fellow Japanese Drama megastars Takako Tokiwa and Takashi Sorimachi is Asaka Seto, who gets two roles in the Andrew Lau thriller Bullets of Love. Seto acquits herself well, showing charisma and range. The movie itself doesn’t match her efforts, but it’s a reasonably entertaining effort.Leon Lai stars as Sam, a kick-ass Hong Kong cop who’s engaged to beautiful Hong Kong prosecutor Ann (Asaka Seto playing Chinese). The two are teamed on a case to take down vicious bad guy Night (the glowering Terence Yin), but only succeed in putting the bastard away for three years. Apparently three years is still too much for the multi-felonious Night, who swears undying revenge. He sics a dour Japanese female assassin on the couple while they vacation in Paris. Before Sam knows it, he’s out a fiancee and sent into a funk.
Three years later, Sam has moved to the rural island of Tai O and is now a fisherman. His life consists of fishing (duh) and hanging with the locals (Chan Wai-Man, Ng Chi-Hung and Ronald Cheng, among others), though he still pines for his departed lawyer girlfriend. However, hope arrives in the form of You (Asaka Seto again!), a Japanese tourist who’s the spitting image of Ann. As you’d expect Sam falls hard for the dead ringer, and after a period of extraneous activity, she returns the feeling. However, Night is due to get released soon and plans revenge. And You may not be all that she seems. – - LoveHkFilm
