Product Description

When criminal kingpin Chou (Tony Leung) decides to take the step into legitimate politics, determined cop Fang (Andy Lau) does everything he can to ruin the campaign. Thanks to Fang's actions, Chau's nomination gets revoked, but this doesn't stop the gangster re-applying as an independent candidate. The subsequent events cause the relations between cop and crook to grow evermore tense, thus setting the scene for a final deadly confrontation between the two arch-rivals.

1.0 out of 5 stars good film, bad dvd 10 Jan 2009
By Mr. H. M. Jor
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've seen this film in cinema back in 1997. Brilliant plot and actors. However, this dvd had deleted the most exciting 'dog chasing' scene. Together with unilingal track (cantonese only) and compulsory subtitle, i would not recommend this dvd to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intensity and politics 23 Jan 2000
By "mr_minh" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
Michael Mak makes very intense movies. He also incorporates a lot of human internal struggles, although not so much in this one.

Island Of Greed is about Taiwan's very tainted politics. In interviews Mak is very assured of the realism. It shows through the story, as some events are really familiar. But it's the movie-making, the story-telling, the actions that make this unforgetable. Incidentally, the current mayor of Taipei Ma Ying-Jiu is known to have done something like this.

Lau has certainly delivered the honest cop, but the best actings are from Tony Leung and Annie Wu. Quite phenomenal.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great view into gang related matters in Taiwan. 14 Dec 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
This movie tells about a conflict between a powerful gang leader (Leung) and the police detective (Andy Lau) and his team. Leung's and Lau's characters struggle throughout the movie (lots of action) and at the end, we see that a gang leader is not as cold blooded as he seems. There is coarse language, violence, and some pornography in the movie but the message of the story is strong...
4.0 out of 5 stars Watch it for Tony Leung Kar-fai 10 Jan 2005
By Luke - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
First-rate Taiwanese drama about the tainted politics of the island. Despite having two leads from Hong Kong, this is not a Hong Kong movie. Mak's taut direction moves the well-thought-out script along in a compelling and gritty fashion, and the drama never slackens. Andy Lau plays a righteous cop trying to track down proof of the corruption; he looks good here, but he is no eye-candy (for once). But Lau is upstaged here by a staggering Tony Leung Kar-fai of "The Lover" fame (no relation with Tony Leung Chiu-Wai), who plays a ruthless gang leader - he is worth the entrance fee alone. This performance proves once again that the best of Hong Kong is more than a match for the best of Hollywood. And you get more than a glimpse on his tattooed butt. Definitely worth catching.
