movie review - My Father is a Hero

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1997.01.11

A B kung-fu flick about an HK cop who loses his wife and rescues his son while bringing a host of baddies to brutal justice. Changes pace half way through and becomes a comedy. I toughed it out, but can't suggest you do the same. It's on days like this that I acknowledge I watch too many movies.

Not recommended.
