News Attack

About This Movie

News Attack offers a gritty look into the intersections of media and crime in late '80s Hong Kong. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that oddly adds to the tension. Andy Lau brings a raw energy to his role, and the dynamic between him and Michael Miu is palpable. You can sense a blend of practical effects, especially in the action sequences, which have a certain roughness that gives them weight. The film dives deep into themes of moral ambiguity and the consequences of sensationalism in journalism, making it feel relevant even today. It's not just an action flick; it's a commentary wrapped in thriller. Definitely a unique piece from its era.
