Island of Greed is a pretty ruthless and

Island of Greed is a pretty ruthless and gritty chronicling of corruption in the government of China and their occupation of Taiwan. Although it's much more of a political thriller using current affairs as a backdrop to tell the life of a triad boss in his attempts to seize power and the opposition he faces from both political rivals and an ever-persistent police detective. A lot of the movie is carried by the charisma of its two leading men, nice direction from Michael Mak, a haunting score by Raymond Wong & Landy Wei and some decent action set pieces that are too few and far between. However, the story relies so heavily on viewers knowing the ins and outs of Taiwan like the back of their hand, so I was extremely lost on most things that would more than likely have a deeper meaning to those who have grown up there. Nothing special but still worthwhile for the action and performances if you can get invested in all the political talk.

The "Island of Greed" (Taiwan) is flooded with "Black Gold" (dirty money). Leung plays the mob boss trying to get into politics, Lau plays his police adversary. As one would expect, an army of dogs is released on Lau and his teammates when they assault a tea plantation. And of course, gangs of taxi drivers riot with flames a plenty. Some good action, but too long. Nominated for Best Action Choreography, lost to "Downtown Torpedoes".
