Bounty Hunters (2016)

Edmond Wong, the writer of Ip Man movie series, is back again with this classic Action Comedy. The production value is very high - set in Hong Kong, Korea, Thailand, Japan. Not only because it is needed for the story, but also the fact that the movie is released as bilingual (Chinese & Korean).
Ordinary Plot, but the way the script was written and screenpaly will hook the audience to the screen for the whole 2 hours. Lee Min Ho, Tiffany Tang (ACTIONS) and Wallace Chung, Louis Fan (COMEDIES) played their role to the full. Tiffany Tang's stunt is sturdy and her pair with Lee Min Ho is eye candy. Comedy - is the main reason why you must watch the movie. Starting from the opening, in equal intervals, there are scenes which makes you to burst in laugh.I think this is possible only by Hong Kong film makers. I personally feel that this is not a Lee Minho movie or Tiffany Tang movie, but it is a Edmond Wong movie. His work is astounding throughout the movie. It reminds me of the Stephen Chow movies. It is a perfect blend of Action - Comedy which is a trademark of any Hong Kong Blockbusters. A complete entertainer to watch with family.
This is the first Asian movie that I watched in Big screen, waited so long so that it would be a Lee Min Ho's one. :)
If you are in Canada, Ontario province, Toronto/nearby cities, the movie is screened in Cineplex cinemas @ Yonge Dundas from July 1. Watch it before it is stopped from screening, because, I hope you know that Asian movies hardly last 3-4 weeks, not more than that.

9/10

I don't know what it is about Chinese shows/movies and the dubbing being horrible... The audio is terrible for almost 85% of chinese shows/movies... Once you get past the dubbing being terrible, it was a good story I guess. Not the best movie out there, but it definitely entertained me for almost 2 hours... I mostly watched it for Lee Min Ho (even though I'm pretty sure that they weren't even using his voice) The acting in the movie was pretty good, except for the very beginning where they meet "Sam", I laughed more at the acting rather than anything else in the beginning. Honestly if this didn't have Lee Min Ho, I would have been crueler with the rating, but his fight scenes were pretty bomb (pun intended haha).

This is a very cute, light-hearted movie. As I was in the mood for a cute, light-hearted movie, I enjoyed it. The action met my expectations, as this was projected as a spy-ish, action-heavy comedy, the stunts were spot on. The actors did a great job of mixing action and comedy, and the martial arts looked good to me. There was a lot of very cool gadgets and high-tech spy-ware and regardless, the budget seemed very high. This movie was 10/10 cinematographically, the shots were absolutely beautiful, and as it was shot in several cities, the movie turned out gorgeous. While I liked the acting, it wasn't anything extraordinary, this is still a light-hearted comedy, it's not very impactful at all and it's one of those movies that you probably won't think about for very long. But watching it is very fun and it had some great comedy (especially if you're familiar with both Chinese and Korean culture)! On an ending note, this is a VERY re-watchable movie, and very enjoyable if you're in the mood for it.

Cute, funny, interesting, all in all, a perfect blend for your 'after a tiring day getaway.' There is Min-ho, Wallace Chung and Tiffany, hence, expect a definite good ride.

Story is quite simple. Two groups of people combine together to foil a terrorist plan and, for different reasons too. However, the story was pushed a little backhand as it was supposed to be a lighthearted movie. However, all the characters had quite a role to play. Min-ho was as charming as always. Wallace was amazing. First time ever, I've seen him in a total comic character. It was a pleasant surprise from his serious and composed roles in his dramas like 'My sunshine' and 'All out of love'. I simply loved him. It was my first time also to see Tiffany in such bold, confident and glamorous role. Min-ho and Tiffany looked well paired. Their action scenes were good. Their mischief is hilarious to see. I laughed a lot when Min-ho told Tiffany to call him 'oppa' which means 'honey' in Korean language, taking advantage of Tiffany's lack of understanding of the language. However, in response Babe called him so. It continued till the last scene of the movie.

I would definitely recommend everyone to see it once. All your favourite stars are refreshingly different from the dramas. You'll definitely love it.

This movie stars 3 people that I love Wallace Chung, Lee Min Ho, and Tiffany Tang... The one thing I will never ever get used to is Wallace Chung playing a comedic character. He still looks good though! For me, Wallace Chung in the public view is a very serious and kind person so I don't think that part fits his persona. The storyline kind of reminded me of the "Joker". What I loved the most was the Martial Arts. That one last kick that Lee Min Ho did was I mean, wow, put goosebumps all over my arms. I know he has taken training in the Philippines. I would love to know more about his Martial arts. Thank you to the rest of the cast for making this movie. Great Job.
