Fatal Contact (2006)
Written by Dennis Law
Produced by Dennis Law and Herman Yau
Directed by Dennis Law
Alternating between cacophonies of tone Dennis Law's romantic street fighting drama "Fatal Contact" is either too saccharine to stomach or too bleak to fully digest. The film's strengths are two of its primary male characters: former Beijing Wushu Team member Jacky Wu Jing, who makes for a pleasing lead with a natural martial arts prowess and obnoxious comic Ronald Cheng in a likeable turn, here, as a low ranking rascal with a knack for impromptu magic and mooching. Frequent Milkyway player Lam Suet (1) is wasted in a hollow supporting role as a triad fight promoter.
