House of Fury

House of Fury is nothing speical, but what it does it does well enough to be enjoyable, and there is nothing wrong with that in the world of cinema. To think if all movies are smash-hits and masterpieces right form the start, they'll be no end to the list of great movies. This however, is no where near great, but it is decent and fun to watch.

House of Fury is about a family of three( starting Hong Kong Cinema great Anthoy Wong as the dad, Steven Fung and Gillian Chung as his son and daughter, Daniel Wu as an undercover government agent, and Michael Wong as the villian) who happens to stumble upon the evil plan of revenge against a government soldier. Anthoy Wong, the local Asian-style doctor, is actually the keeper of the secrets of the list of government soilder Michael Wong is looking for. Michael Wong then sends out a series of awesome fighting men and women to force Anthony to reveal who was it that broke his spinal cord and made him inmovable below his neck.

The movie is action packed with lots of fighting scenes. Most of them are good, but some of the ones that Gillian are in are quite fake. The plot is nothing too dramatic, but the ending is just; this is a film that after about a week, it'll be forgotten.
