Moonlight Express (1999)

I'm going to cut right to the chase, this movie was poorly acted, poorly written, poorly dubbed, poorly shot, and had a weird soundtrack of badly sung American Country Western music.

The only highlight in the movie was Michelle Yeoh who had about five minutes on screen with which she outshone everyone else in the cast.

The police corruption story was merely in the background and the excuse to put the main leads together. The Hong Kong police officer was a dead ringer (pun intended) for the Japanese woman's deceased fiancé. The rushed romance comes across a little creepy given that she falls for him because he looks like her dead lover and he knows this. The police story was convoluted to the point of being ridiculous.

I would have scored it lower, but Michelle Yeoh's scenes had me feeling slightly merciful.
