    Turning Point is Herman Yau's attempt at a Hong Kong crime drama. It also serves as a prequel to the Laughing Gor character in the television series EU.

    While not entirely confusing, the story comes across as messy. There are a lot of lengthy flashbacks to help

    ...( read more)explain a variety of situations, but all the back and forth switching disrupts the flow of the film. The run time itself doesn't even reach 90 minutes; however this picture feels much longer. The pacing is moderate and there isn't much going on to raise the interest level in the film.

    A few triad beatings, a car chase, and a mediocre shooting sequence round up the action, which leaves the film really uneventful. This is a true shame.

    Michael Tse is considered the lead actor of the film, but he is not the star. Anthony Wong, although weird looking with his mo-hawkish hairdo, and Francis Ng steal Tse's spotlight. This isn't surprising, since both Wong and Ng are no strangers to these types of films.

    In the end, Turning Point isn't bad a movie; it just isn't special in any way. There is no rush to see this.

The winners here are the two actors: Anthony Wong and Francis Ng. They were great. Some of the action scenes were really good. They were sh...( read more)ot well.
