Badges of Fury (2013)- Movie review.

Do you want for an enjoyable Saturday night movie? Want something simple and short? Want comedy, action and tragedy all in one? Well then this is the movie for you and I have to tell you that this movie is so good.

This movie was not of any interest to ma at first due to the fake action and blunt plotline.  To make things worse the dubbing was not very good and at first you feel the voices don’t match the characters. Yes this drama is Chinese and it kind of reminded me of “Robin B Hood” Anyhow I gave it some time and the plot changed drastically and even though not a very good movie, at the end of it I felt very happyJ. The plot is very simple with no complications and we see not so connected events happening out of the blue only to see that these scenes were dreams. So let’s go through the plot very quickly.

 

The three idiots - Lol I love Jet Li's face :) 

The story follows a set of police detectives who never succeed at anything they do. We see this when they fail their mission just because they don’t work as a team. The team includes Wang (Wen Zhang) – a Mr. Nobody who has really good martial art skills but doesn’t have the brain to go with it. Then there is the senior officer (Jet Li) who couldn’t get retirement because his team failed all their missions. He is a good martial artist and has the brains but because of Wang he always fails.  The lady detective is the one who has the brains, is single and has no martial art skills at all.

The three women involved (all three fall in love with Wang :) 

These three dumbos are always the failures in their department and it seems like they will remain so till their retirement until the “smiling murders” start to happen. In this case the victims all died with a smile in their faces while they are doing things. The only connection between these murders is that all of them are men and that they fell in love with an actress and then moved on to have relationships with her sister. So the three idiots believe it is the actress who kills these men. They then find out that she has nothing to do with all this. At the end it seems that all this was done by the actress’s uncle who wanted to rob her off her inheritance. Guess who finds all this out and becomes the hero? Well it’s Wang and he gets a promotion and finds himself in love with the actress’s “supposed evil” sister.

The evil sister :) 

At the end of the day it is such an enjoyable ride. This is because the comedy makes us laugh ourselves to death and the simple plot leaves us nothing to think about. At the end of the movie we are all happy with nothing much to think about. It is a easy to follow and easy to forget plot. So this makes this movie the perfect medicine for a broken heart or a bad day. I really think you should give movie a chance but please don’t compare this with Hollywood movies ( plot wise) or to Thai movies (action wise). Enjoy. J J J J J J .
