FILM SYNOPSIS

"The frenetic pace and energy of Hong Kong actioners have remained consistent throughout the years. But what possibly separates today’s action films and those of the past is better technology. Better CGI, better wirework, better sound effects – you name it, they got it down pat.

Benny Chan’s INVISIBLE TARGET is loud, fast, action-packed, adrenaline-pumping, explosive, overall entertaining. The pace is good, the acting effective. Character development is handled deftly, and the story is told with enough gusto to keep us riveted throughout its more than two hours running time, with flashes of humour in all the right places.

A gang of foreign thieves led by Tien (Wu Jing) scores a major heist in the city, but inadvertently kills maverick cop Chan Chun (Nicholas Tse)’s fiancee in the process. Six months later, the gang finds that they’ve been double-crossed, and someone has made off with the loot. They return to the city to exact revenge and get their share of the money. The only problem is, standing in their way are three young cops, Chan, Fong (Shawn Yue) and Wai (Jaycee Chan). Chan is seeking revenge for the death of his fiancée, Fong wants a rematch after getting his ass seriously kicked by Tien, and Wai wants to find out what happened to his brother who was an undercover cop who infiltrated the gang. Meanwhile, unknown to all of them, there is a certain “invisible target” who is the mastermind behind the whole mess.

Like I said before, the technology today further enhances the experience in an action movie, and the fights here are bone-crunchingly fearsome. And when Wu Jing gets into the thick of things, you can be sure there’ll be some seemingly humanly-impossible moves." - Twitch
