ANGEL TERMINATORS is another butt-kicking girls-with-guns thriller from Hong Kong, a little more slapdash and lower budgeted than some, although not without merit. The storyline involves a couple of cops, played by Sharon Yeung and Kara Hui, who find themselves up against a ruthless drug lord who has just returned to Hong Kong after a spell abroad. Hui is always great value in her movies but she spends most of the film missing here, while the mid section suffers a little from being over melodramatic in the depiction of Kenneth Tsang's relationship with old frame Carrie Ng (stuck in a thankless, much-abused supporting role). Taking your mind off the familiarity of the storyline is a wealth of fight action, with copious shoot-outs, car chases and explosions all over the place, including one heck of a climax. The choreography is far from perfect, but the sheer overload of bloodshed and mayhem counts for a lot. Watch out for Dick Wei as a last-act henchman alongside the always-impressive Michiko Nishiwaki doing what she does best.
