03/13/2012 It's actually better than 'Mission Impossible'. A good hour and a half entertainment. Don't read the blurb at top of page....it gives half the story away. Rubbish title by the way. But i'd rather watch this than the 'Oceans eleven' crap. See more 10/18/2010 A Hollywood action movie wannabe. And like majority from the same genre, soulless characters & hollow story underneath the appealing coating. See more 03/06/2010 Simultaneously hailed and blamed for both the rebirth and destruction of HK cinema, Teddy Chan's Downtown Torpedoes seem barely average by today's standards. But in it's 1997 context it definitely breaks some new ground, abandoning the usual wall to wall action for a Hollywood style build up before the action kicks in. And when it does it's a finely tuned machine. See more 12/20/2009 An exciting action packed HK flick. See more 08/16/2009 Yes, Takeshi Kaneshiro was in this movie and that's why it's good! Haha... kidding... but it IS a good movie afterall. See more 02/02/2009 i became a fan of jordan chan ... he was so cool in this movie. See more Read all reviews
