Seoul Raiders (2005)
formulaic thriller barely makes the grade
28 March 2012
Warning: Spoilers
The storyline has potential. Stolen plates to make counterfeit money that's nearly untraceable. A suave, cool, sophisticated detective (Leung Chiu Wai) who's assigned to get the plates back and who has a bit of a vendetta against the guy who tricked him in the first place (Richie Ren).

And then they start throwing in the cornball humour. Leung combing his hair with a giant comb. Leung surrounded by Korean models fawning at his every move. Shu Qi constantly trying to up her share of the take. Richie Ren playing a bad guy who constantly outsmarts Leung, and yet gets totally taken in at the end by Leung. Can't divulge too much more than that. But don't worry, you'll see the plot twists coming a mile away.

5/10 for the movie, +1 for surrounding Leung with beautiful Korean girls.

not worth rewatching.
