Synopsis
Ekin Cheng, who rose to stardom with the ?goo waak chai? movies in the mid 90s, didn?t have it too well in the last few years. ?Heavenly mission? could very well be ?goo waak chai ? 10 years later?, with Cheng?s icon character Chan Ho-nam coming back after 8 years in jail in Thailand, wanting to go legitimate (although it was in fact an entirely different character). There?s evidence that the movie makers put in an honest effort to make this a story-heavy, action-light, different gangster movie. The result is commendable though not terribly impressive.
For followers of the HK movie scene, the huge cast of familiar faces should make it look like a carnival, and I?m only going to mention a few. Ever dependable ?Richard Gere? of Hong Kong, Alex Fong Chung-shun plays a seasoned detective vowed to nail Cheng again. Veteran Ti Lung is the aging underground boss from whom Cheng now distances himself. Cheung Chi-lam (who just had a bouncing 8-lb baby boy with Anita Yuen) is the crooked lawyer. Fung Tak-lun is the explosive young gangster who wants to take over. And there are more, a lot more. Nikki Chow Lai-kai provides the eye-candy element, in the ?flower vase? role as Chow?s girlfriend.
