Member laagi Posted January 13, 2019 Member Share Posted January 13, 2019 Not sure if this had already been posted. I'm rather looking forward to it. Any word on a VOD or physical release yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted January 13, 2019 Member Share Posted January 13, 2019 I’ve seen trailers for this one for ages now. Has it not even had a Hong Kong release yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member whitesnake Posted March 31, 2019 Member Share Posted March 31, 2019 Asianfilmstrike review of Hidden Man - https://asianfilmstrike.com/2019/03/30/hidden-man-2018-review/ "After 2010's Sichuan-set Let the Bullets Fly and 2014's Shanghai-set Gone with the Bullets, Jiang Wen closes his amoral trilogy of Republican China epics with the Beijing-set Hidden Man, where bullets are much scarcer than blades and fists... Long Story Short: An entertaining and visually gorgeous tale of revenge and political intrigue, Hidden Man is also over-indulgent, over-stuffed and tonally muddled."

If you enjoyed Wen's previous efforts, 'Let the Bullets Fly' and 'Gone with the Bullets', then you should be in for a good time. Also like those flicks, 'Hidden Man' arguably doesn't belong in a martial arts forum, even though there's some in it.

I mean, I'm excited for the film no matter what. I was just interested in how many fight scenes they included. If you recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this doesn't come across as sounding pedantic, but for me fight scenes and action sequences are 2 very different things. There's plenty of rooftop running and even some gunplay. For fight scenes, you've got 3 - a brief scene involving chopsticks (shown in the trailer), and Peng's 1:1's against Sawada Kenya and Liao Fan. So you have about 5 mins worth of fight action in a 135 minute movie, but then as I mentioned, this isn't a fight flick, so that shouldn't be surprising. If you've seen 'Let the Bullets Fly' and 'Gone with the Bullets', then you'll have a good idea if you're going to enjoy it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on that answer, I'm out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
