Asian Connection is a straight action thriller from Hong Kong, featuring Danny Lee in the type of role he would play literally dozens of times during his career. He's a hard working cop on the trail of a ruthless gang of violent drug dealers, who begin the film by stealing five million dollars from the police force. Lee is tasked with hunting them down and he has a man on the inside to help him.

Although the budgets of Hong Kong action movies had dropped by the mid-'90s, this is still a fast paced and focused thriller that offers plenty of car chases, shoot-outs, and explosions to see it through. The story is nothing special but the direction works and Lee and his fellow actors do enough to draw you into the storyline. A masterpiece? No, but then it doesn't try to be. It's a film which entertains and that's the point.
