The Direct Line

About This Movie

The Direct Line is a rather interesting entry from 1992. It features Yukari Oshima in a solid performance as a detective caught in a high-stakes situation, which is always a fun watch. The pacing is brisk, and the action sequences are intense, showcasing some decent practical effects for the time. Waise Lee adds a menacing presence as the leader of the Golden Corps, and their pursuit of a traitor selling stolen gold in Hong Kong adds a layer of intrigue. The atmosphere has a gritty, urban feel that captures the essence of early '90s action films. Its blend of suspense and action makes it distinctive, though it might not get the attention it deserves among collectors.
