Paradox (4 Stars)


This is the third film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film festival.

The Hong Kong policeman Lee Chung is devoted to his wife and his daughter Chi. After the death of his wife his daughter means even more to him. When she's 16 Chi travels to Thailand on vacation. After three days she disappears. Lee travels to Thailand and assists the local policeman Chui Kit in finding his daughter. Together they uncover a gang that kidnaps tourists to harvest their organs for illegal transplants. The investigations are hampered because corrupt policemen and senior politicians are also involved with the gang.

I don't usually like Chinese police stories, but this is an outstanding action story. There are some gunfights, but also many martial arts that were choreographed by Sammo Hung.
