Gen-X Cops

Movie: Gen-X Cops (1999)
World Region: Hong Kong
Starring: Nicholas Tse and others
Rating: 5.5/10

Plot: Um....I watched it last night...I should be able to remember....Anyway, there are three guys who are about to get kicked out of the police force for insubordination and for being waay too smart in the wrong way at the academy. They are picked up by a down and out inspector to crack a high-profile case by infiltrating a gang. Sometimes it's hard to tell whether they're police or losers, but that's exactly what they've got going for them. It feels like that movie The Perfect Score (2004) that everybody watched and forgot mixed with something like a weak Kill Zone.

This is a fun film with a bunch of newer guys in Hong Kong entertainment. The best part is the way the team of three undercover cop guys play off of each other. Nicholas Tse does some good acting in this one. Sam Lee as Alien is special in his own way and kinda adorable. Nakamura Toru as Akatora says little but carries himself very well. Sure, there's better out there, but the gags in this one are cute to funny and they are what carries the show.
