Rather enjoyable crime action...

Sitting down in 2022 to watch the 1990 crime action movie "Sai Hak Chin" (aka "Tiger Gate 2") for the first time. I had actually never heard about this movie from writers Chi-Ho Fong, Kwong-Kim Yip and Yeuk-Kwong Yuen before I had the opportunity to watch it.

But I figured since the movie was a crime action and had Donnie Yen, Rosamund Kwan and Robin Shou on the cast list, then I would be in for something watchable and enjoyable. So I sat down to watch "Sai Hak Chin", and I must say that director Woo-Ping Yuen did manage to put the script and storyline onto the screen in an enjoyable and entertaining manner.

The storyline in Woo-Ping Yuen's movie was pretty straight forward, if not actually somewhat generic for an early 1990s crime action movie. But hey, the formula worked then and still works today, and that makes "Sai Hak Chin" an enjoyable and watchable movie. There is a good combination of the genres, that being crime, drama and martial arts.

The cast ensemble in "Sai Hak Chin" was also good, and needless to say that it was definitely pure joy to watch the young Donnie Yen, Rosamund Kwan and Robin Shou in the movie.

There is a good amount of martial arts and action throughout the course of "Sai Hak Chin", which should provide more than sufficient to keep most viewers happy.

My rating of "Sai Hak Chin" lands on a well-deserved six out of ten stars.
