Reviews

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Leofwine_draca As an early Taiwanese kung fu film, A GIRL CALLED TIGRESS isn't too bad at all. Polly Shang Kwan headlines the cast and is at her physical prime in this one. She plays a dual role here as two sisters, one of whom has been kidnapped by persons unknown; the fighting Polly goes searching for her sister and teams up with a youthful Kam Kong before he was typecast as a villain in kung fu movies. Inevitably their hunt leads them up against a criminal gang busy buying up land and terrorising everybody around.The real villain is, of course, Yasuaki Kurata, which is a given as soon as you see his name featured in the cast list. Kurata is on strong form too and the good news is that A GIRL CALLED TIGRESS has plenty of action to see it through. It needs to have, given that the plot is very straightforward and not really in-depth enough to sustain a feature film, which is why the running time on this one is so short.
