REVENGE OF THE GREEN DRAGONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

A24<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reviewed for Shockya by Harvey Karten. Data-based on Rotten Tomatoes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grade:\u00a0 C<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director:\u00a0 Andrew Lau, Andrew Loo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Screenplay:\u00a0 Michael Di Jiacomo, Andrew Loo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cast:\u00a0 Justin Chon, Kevin Wu, Harry Shum Jr., Ray Liotta, Jin Auyeung, Shuya Chang, Carl Li<\/strong><\/p>\n

Screened at:\u00a0 Review 1, NYC, 9\/8\/14<\/strong><\/p>\n

Opens:\u00a0 October 24, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

If I remember the dates correctly, during the late 1970s, decades after the Communists took control of the Chinese mainland, power shifted outside of China, as the Communists destroyed the local gangs, some of whose members emigrated to New York.\u00a0 Wars raged in New York\u2019s Chinatown in 1977 between Chinese gangs centering on Mott Street (which could give a new interpretation to the song that goes \u201cAnd tell me what street\/ Compared to Mott Street in July?\u201d)\u00a0 When Congress changed the Chinese Exclusion Act allowing more Chinese into the U.S., competition was fierce, work was hard to come by, so Chinese men organized street gangs modeled after the gangs that the Communists destroyed on the mainland.\u00a0 One of the so-called Triad gangs was called the Ghost Shadows, led by one Nick Louie.\u00a0 This was presumably the background to Andrew Lau and Andrew Loo\u2019s new movie \u201cRevenge of the Green Dragons,\u201d adapted from an article by Fredric Dannen by Michael Di Jiacomo and Andrew Loo.<\/p>\n

None of this background information came forth from the film, but the events depicted in this violent celluloid, executive produced by Martin Scorsese, no less, presumably happened.\u00a0 Still, it\u2019s strange that Mr. Scorsese attached his prestige to what is, to wallow in understatement, no \u201cGodfather,\u201d but instead is a generic, originality-free, plodding story filled with people that nobody can care about.\u00a0 Even the gangsters in the movie say at numerous times that the authorities don\u2019t care what happens to Asians, which is why the cardinal rule among the low-lifes was \u201cDo not shoot white guys.\u201d\u00a0 According to them, only a bad incident occurring to a white would bring in not only the New York police but, since international drug smuggling was involved, the F.B.I. as well.<\/p>\n

The story finds two brothers, Sonny (Justin Chon) and Steven (Kevin Wu), despairing of the poverty of their situation in Chinatown, joining The Green Dragons.\u00a0 Ultimately, several gory murders later\u2014one involving a hara-kiri type stabbing of one gangster who overstepped by killing a white guy during a shoot-out in a restaurant and another dealing with the torture of a rival gang member who loses a finger after Green Dragon pummels his hand with a hammer\u2014Sonny determines to take revenge against the very gang that made him the man he became.<\/p>\n

Ray Liotta as an ambitious F.B.I. agent, Michael Bloom, is the only character with whom most in the audience would be familiar and also the guy who pushes his boss, the indifferent Captain Higgins (Geoff Pierson), to take action against the gang, not because they threaten other Chinese but because they are importing indentured servants and huge amounts of heroin stuffed into cookies and bags of basmati rice.<\/p>\n

Among the stereotypes on hand are Eugenia Yuan as Snakehead Mama, wearing a perpetual sneer, who brings Chinese in from the mainland for big bucks and then farms them out to work off their debts; and Harry Shum, Jr. as Paul Wong, the obvious leader, because he wears a sports jacket, open collar shirt, speaks with confidence and radiates charm.\u00a0 By contrast, many of the gangsters act like big feral cats.<\/p>\n

Rated R. 94 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 2014 by Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n
