I was skeptical about it and how it could deliver a good story line but quarter way in,all those doubts poofed in the air. It's really good movie and I would most certainly recommend it to anyone looking to watch it. The brotherhood between them and respect for the family unit really accentuates this movie as rare since now hollywood movies are insisting on tearing down the family unit. The shootings and even the fighting are made as authentic as they can get even the iconic kung-fu fighting sequence The racing scenes and the cinematography will make you forget the little discrepancies regarding the plot. Overall,a good movie for anyday.

A great action movie performed by Chinese actors Asian movie is at a high level. Only artificial cars explosions are offended, you can see it with the naked eye. Shooting and fighting look more truly. I highly recommend it! Worth watching.

When it comes to action scenes (shootouts, car chases) this more than delivers. On the drama part it will depend on how you perceive certain things. Melodrama and family drama and friendship drama ... things get muddled a little to, as is the tone of the movie. Again it will depend on your view and sensibility on certain issues. So while I would say it lacks or is very much flawed on certain aspects, the movie is more than entertaining (with a small dose of social criticism thrown in there for good measure). If that is something that might float your boat and you generally are a fan of these types of action movies, you won't need convincing anyway. Just don't expect this to be another copy of a Hollywood Blockbuster.

The 2018 Hong Kong movie "Golden Job" (aka "Huang jin xiong di") from director Kar Lok Chin is definitely a trip down to the glorious 1990s, where the Hong Kong cinema was flooded with an abundance of action movies that were not so heavy on the script and storyline but crammed with an orgy of action, shooting and car chases. "Golden Job" stars a handful of well-established and famous actors in the Hong Kong cinema. So it was definitely a nice treat to sit down and watch the movie, for a long-time fan of the Hong Kong cinema such as myself. The cast list includes the likes of Ekin Cheng, Jordan Chan, Kar Lok Chin, Michael Tse and of course Eric Tsang. The storyline in "Golden Job" was entertaining for what it was, but don't expect this to be an intricate plot of twists and surprises. It was pretty straightforward, but also predictable and simplistic. But it worked out well in the charm of the feel of the golden age of Hong Kong action cinema. The action sequences were nicely choreographed and executed, and they did carry the movie a long way. But needless to say that the collective acting efforts of the established cast also did its share to bring enjoyment to the movie. All in all, "Golden Job" is an entertaining and enjoyable action movie, definitely watchable for what it was. I am rating the movie six out of ten stars. However, this is hardly a movie that warrants more than just a single viewing, because the storyline doesn't really have that much contents to offer - let's just be honest about that. If you are a fan of the Hong Kong cinema, then you should take the time to sit down and watch "Golden Job". However, if you are new to the Hong Kong cinema, then there are far better movies to sit down and watch.

Same old retread of a band of "get-to-gether-ever-so-often" crooks w/usual theft of gold bars from truck. Lots of moronic seen before shoot outs, then car chases, then more shoot outs, then more car chases - all formula looks like every other of dozens of movies with the same hooks. Usual double crossing member; usual organized crime characters. What makes it stand out amongst the aforementioned is the disorganized script & poor acting.

So overall the movie is good,, it has a nice plot , maybe i got a bit confused at first , because i was trying to know exactly which language they speak , Mandarin or Cantonese then they spoke Japanese somewhere mixed with English here and there so i think it confused me a bit but nonetheless the Action and explosions were extreme but good ,, the script was okay digestible and somewhat easily followable .. the CGI and visual effects were spot on for once ,, The cast did good engaged well ,,, and at the end when things got emotional the did well too. as i said at the beginning it might get a bit too extreme for you with all the overdosed action and explosions but the story is worth it.. Recommended.

Not a satisfying movie. The story line was rushed it was all over the place.. Action was good.

Pipeline routine works, the whole film rhythm is a little too fast, the plot is thin, the characters face makeup. In fact, depending on these old faces, slowly ponder the plot, and break it into three pieces, maybe it can be seen.

These Hong Kong actors are like Hollywood's Rat Pack, a group likes to stay together not just on the screen but also off it. These guys are the mid older generation actors, but none of them is actually talented enough to be called "great actor". Now, they are becoming older, even past their prime, but together, they have the powerful influence in Hong Kong's movie business. By the over-the-top settings covering Europe and Japan, lot of exotic cars smashing, crashing lot of buildings, interrupting the traffic wherever they shot those car chasing and gun fighting scenes, the production budget obviously was so big, but sadly, it was developed on a weak, loose, and ridiculous messy screenplay, scenarios and plots, extremely cliche'd. Typical Hong Kong style but like these actors, it's not a good enough, matured enough movie, so formulaic and one-way predictable, no matter how much they spent on the special effects, CGI graphic and stunt coordination. The worst part in this movie is their Cantonese dialog, a quite ugly dialect that simply lack the seriousness what a suspenseful action thriller should be even with the good English or Chinese subtitles.
