Task Force

About This Movie

Task Force (1997) is an interesting blend of comedy and drama, set against the gritty backdrop of Mongkok. Our protagonist, Lin, is a cop who really can’t catch a break and his awkward attempts at a vice operation lead him into the orbit of a rather quirky hooker. The romance here is peculiar and layered, with her continually reminiscing about a dangerous figure from her past. The film has a loose, almost meandering pace that suits its offbeat atmosphere – you feel the chaos of the streets and the characters’ lives. Performances are a mix of earnestness and humor, making it distinctive in how it tackles themes of love amidst chaos. Plus, the practical effects during the few action sequences feel refreshingly grounded.
