License to Steal
18 January 2023
Joyce Godenzi plays an acrobatic thief who, after taking part in an elaborate burglary, is double-crossed by her partner (Aurelio) and is captured by the police. On her release from prison, Godenzi discovers that her betrayer is now a highly influential criminal in the area and commands a posse of hired thugs. With a new partner by her side, Godenzi looks to avenge her imprisonment and steal the valuables her former partner had double-crossed her for.

Joyce Godenzi and Aurelio make great rivals in this entertaining HK film that strikes the right balance of drama, comedy and action; the latter being quite exciting. Plenty of high kicks and lethal stunts. Godenzi really catches ones eye with her nimble moves. On the negative side, the tone of the picture can be a bit dark, marring some of the moves to be seen. That's my pet hate, however overall this is worth watching as there's plenty to be enjoyed here.
