Review of Silver Hawk

Silver Hawk (2004)
5/10
Lone Ranger, female Chinese version
4 September 2005
OK, this movie starts out with an action scene. The scene is horribly performed and directed, with slow-mos and stop-frames in the weirdest moments. The hero is like a comic-book hero, cape and weird bat-man like devices included, only female. She beats up an entire group of trained guards in order to get to their cargo: pandas, probably illegally smuggled. Her sidekick is a "smart" motorcycle which comes on command and can be remotely controlled. Come on! How lame is that? Hi Oh Silver, away! all over again. Silver being the key word :)

The film continues much like the first scene, with a lot of bad dialog, repetitive action moves and cliché bad guys. (translated into Chinese: arrogant Europeans with a black American henchman). I did wonder why Michael Jai White and Luke Goss accepted to play in this movie. They probably needed money badly.

I give this movie a five, because it is a very bad movie, but that actually doesn't surprise me. I expected that from the very first scene, so at least it was an honest movie.
