Hearty Response (1986)

Member Rating:

A tough detective fights for the freedom of an illegal immigrant in this action-packed Hong Kong thriller starring Chow Yun Fat. When Detective Bond accidentally harms an illegal immigrant named San during a routine police operation, his guilty conscience prompts him to invite her back to his home so that she may safely recover. Unfortunately Detective Bond's benevolent generosity is soon compromised by the simmering jealousy of his wife - who immediately assumes that her husband is having an extramarital affair with San. Later, when San is abducted and raped by a ruthless villain who attempts to extract a tidy ransom for her return, Detective Bond travels to the psychopath's hideout and single-handedly takes on his entire gang. After subsequently realizing that they were indeed meant for one another, Detective Bond and San are forced to go their separate ways. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

This was a good movie, but I knew it wasn't an action vehicle like most of Chow Yun Fat's earlier works, so I didn't go in with high hopes. This was a beautiful story about how Joey Wong's character, a mainland girl, tries to migrate to Hong Kong for a better life and ends up in the care of Chow's police detective character. The only problem that I had with this movie is the torture that Joey had to go through at the hand's of some nut case who tried to take advantage of her earlier. The scenes where she's misused and abused is not for the faint-hearted...God knows I could barely sit through it. But give it a shot and you just might enjoy it.

That's a good thing! Like most films from this period, it has swift pacing, juicy character acting, and lots of action and stunts. Recommended.
