REVIEW:
" ...ENTER THE PHOENIX (a misleading title if there ever was one) is a reasonably promising start for its young director but, like most first-timers, Fung overdoes it with the technical flourishes (split screen, overly elaborate camera set-ups, etc) to the point of viewer distraction. It is a shame that he did not lavish a commensurate amount of attention and care on his flimsy script (co-authored by Lo Yiu-fai). The abundant low humor is undeniably effective on occasion (a surprising number of solid laughs can be had from hearing the ever-flustered Law Kar-ying cursing in English and there are some inspired celebrity cameos) but ultimately undercuts the film’s accomplishments. Georgie is the most respectable and intelligent character here but his sexual orientation is nothing more than a springboard for the kind of lame gay jokes and broad characterizations (with Stephen Chiau regular Lee Kin-yan being the worst offender) found in far too many HK movies. An abundance of overly flashy, wire-enhanced combat during the finale is at odds with most everything preceding it, the considerable appeal of Karen Mok is largely squandered, and Eason Chan’s mugging does little to make his dubious character any more appealing. On the other hand, the pairing of Law and To is comic gold, even with this material, the terminally blank Daniel Wu is a bit more dashing than usual, and Yuen Biao comes off quite well in a role that relies solely on his histrionic talents...
