Fridae

Who would have thought that the young, dimply and doe-eyed Stephen
Fung, who played a rent boy in Bishonen, had it in him
to be in front of and behind the camera?

In his second directorial-cum-acting effort after last year's Enter
The Phoenix, Stephen plays a dolphin trainer who frequently
dismisses his widowed old father's (Anthony Wong) claims of being
a famous bodyguard of retired secret agents once. His sister (Gillian
Chung) is equally sceptical.

But when a wheelchair-bound baddie (Michael Wong) kidnaps their
father to find out the whereabouts of the agent responsible for
his plight, the kids realise that their father has been telling
the truth about his past all along. They must now do their all to
save him.

Though the story is predictable and the acting by the younger members
of the cast (including Stephen) leaves much to be desired, the fast-paced
and rip-roaring action sequences choreographed by Yuen Wo Ping do
their requisite magic and keep your eyes glued to the screen.
