watched a 35mm print of knock off ln which was like pristine condition like itd been struck this year… great movie?? like if u want to see like idk action movie freneticism done right well… there u go. insane editing that deserves (probably has?) a david bordwell style breakdown… jcvd is so funny and him and rob schneider are on soooo much cocaine that they look like theyre about to fucking explode in a couple scenes. jc is a funny guy and its nice to see a movie that works with that before he becomes this sad clown in those dtv ringo lam movies tho obvs i like those too. literally two of the most obviously zooted performances ive ever seen esp. jc. but yes it is nice to watch an action comedy that is actually fucking hilarious… all the jokes land when youre watching it w/ the only 12 ppl in chicago who actually really like hark tsui and jcvd. anyeays im always saying this but it also has like insanely fucking sick action… def of a piece w/ time and tide… s2g no one was doing it quite like tsui.
