Amazon.co.uk Review

And Now You're Dead may nominally be a heist movie about two rival gangs out to steal a diamond, but in reality it's an excuse for a series of exceptional action set-pieces as only Hong Kong cinema knows how to do. The film is actually set in Prague and features both a mixed Chinese and European cast, and some fairly horrendous dubbing. Fortunately no one is going to be watching for the dialogue, and the plot--assorted gangsters betray each other, while others find friendship and redemption--has been replayed endlessly since John Woo's A Better Tomorrow (1986). While Michael Wong makes an acceptable Chow Yun Fat substitute as professional thief Marty, Shannon Lee's ruthless assassin is a revelation. She is Bruce Lee's daughter, and having already appeared in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993) and Blade (1998), she delivers perhaps the toughest action heroine since Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor in T2. It's a breathtaking performance, especially in a deliriously extended police station battle which recalls the original Terminator. Overlook the clumsy comic relief and the sub-Bond finale, and settle back to enjoy an insanely frenzied bloodbath packed with over-the-top stunts and razor-sharp martial arts. --Gary S. Dalkin

4.0 out of 5 stars A surprisiing film. Glad I bought it., 31 May 2001
By A Customer
What can I say, when I first ordered this film I thought I was in for a stinker but it had Shannon Lee in it, daughter of the late Bruce Lee so I just had to see if Shannon had her fathers skills. I can say in all honesty that I was pleasently surprised. The film has dubbing on it, not sure why. Its no Fist of Fury but what I can say is Shannon Lee carries this film. Her martial arts skills are excellent and her action scenes (she does use a gun as well) are very well done. This film is in the same style as Hard Bioled. Action is the plot and the fight scenes are excellent. Camera work is a bit of a let down at times. Some of the stunts remind you of some Jackie Chan films. If you like action, martial arts films then I would reccomend this. I cant wait to see Shannon Lee in another movie. The legend does live on after all.
