Some things I liked some I did not.

Am I Missing Something?

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

This movie was my first encounter with any Hong Kong film. I watched this movie back in 1999 (on a VCR cassette).The story line is like many other holly wood movies produced at that time: "A patriotic cop in a difficult and life saving situation". Action is sloppy sometimes but the martial arts is quite good.Acting of lead cast both hero and villain is convincing (except the female lead because her performance was over-loud and not up to the standards).Dubbing could have been more better. Over all 6/10.If you can bear the 90's action, it is a good movie to watch.

"The Blacksheep Affair" was not one of the better Hong Kong action movies, though it wasn't a total waste of time either.I picked up this movie from Amazon because Shu Qi is in it, and I am a fan of hers, and she did a great job in the movie, despite having a small supporting role only. The lead role was held by Chiu Man Chuk, and he was actually also doing a good job.The story in "The Blacksheep Affair" was a bit too silly for my liking. It didn't have much continuity in it, and there were some holes in the plot here and there. But still, not the worst Hong Kong movie I have seen, but there are a lot far better Hong Kong movies available.I found two things odd in this movie. The first was why people would be speaking English in this fictional country, Lavernia. And not just English, but poorly dubbed English with a strong lack of emotion and commitment. It was just hilarious, and it brought the movie down a notch. The second thing was the out-of-touch-with-reality-sounds that was used whenever people were throwing punches, kicking stuff and using swords. Those sounds were so bad.One of the best things in "The Blacksheep Affair" was the ending, that was actually a nice surprise, and that made it up for the lack of proper storyline throughout the entire movie.

soon as this film ends you will want to watch it again and again and pray for it not to end. This is action in hyper gear folks enjoy the 90 minutes of bliss now!! :) As for the story, what there is of it :) it centres around Chiu Man chuek (who is awesome i will add :)) as a detective send to some place called 'Lavernia' after a botch mission,and once there doesn't stay out of trouble for long. as we meet Mishima. Then the film is just non stop action!! that every body will love! buy it or rent this film now!!

I've given this film 10 on the strength of it action and fight scenes which are some of the best i've seen, Forget about all those Hollywood Blockbuster action films, for serious action fans thay don't come much better than this Hong Kong classic, Get yourself a copy of the DVD and enjoy.
