Tsui Chik (Jet Li) is a librarian who leads a quiet, unassuming life - or, at least, that’s what he wants people to believe. In truth, he was once a member of the 701 Squad, a group of elite combatants produced by a failed super-soldier project. In kind with his former comrades, his central nervous system has been altered to render him impervious to pain. When several of his fellow test subjects resurface and embark on a crimewave under the leadership of their former commander Hung Kuk (Patrick Lung), Tsui is forced to use his extraordinary abilities once more. Donning a costume, he sets out to face his past - as the vigilante known as the Black Mask. (Eureka Entertainment)

English This seems like Hong Kong’s peculiar answer to Hollywood’s comic book movies of the nineties. It contains classic props and Batman parallels. The fights are hard and the surroundings interesting. Weak dramaturgy, editing all over the place, but the nearer it got to the ending, the less it mattered. Jet Li gives a classic performance. A chilled B-movie where CDs are lethal weapons. Old school. Maybe I’ll learn to cook. (02/07/2016)
