A Japanese doctor, on a secret mission to Paris for his country, becomes romantically involved with a cabaret singer at a Parisian nightclub. His entire mission is put at risk when he kills a rival for her love, a French journalist and blackmailer. (This film was a heavily re-shot 76 minute version of the 1933 film Typhoon but with a dramatically altered plot from the original where the Japanese are now portrayed as unsympathetic villains. The new version was approved by German censors and released in 1934 although its critical reception was poor. It is possible that Wiene, who had left for Budapest in 1933 following the Nazi rise to power, did not personally work on the new version). From Wikipedia.

First of all, the title does not refer to someone sentenced to jail. It is a movie about 6 lifetime friends who are all hitting the big `3-0' together during the same year. Each one looks inside themselves to see where has my life gone and what am I going to do with my future. Actually, what I saw was a black Seinfeld comedy. Tracy Morgan, who is one of the main characters, is a struggling comedian just like Jerry Seinfeld. He gives his opinion of what women want in a man in one of his comedy routines. Melissa De Sousa is looking for a man before time runs out. She is just like Elaine in Seinfeld. I don't remember the big problem with turning thirty, however, all the characters in this movie can show you what they are, such as not having fame, riches, a husband, a thin body, and staying young. Their life stories are probably repeated many times around the world.

Inspektor Ko wird von Hongkong auf die Philippinen beordert, um den inhaftierten Drogengangster Loader in Gewahrsam zu nehmen. Bei der Überführung zum Flughafen gelingt es Loaders Männern jedoch, ihren Boß zu befreien. Ko setzt sich gegen den Willen lokaler Behörden auf die Fährte der Gangster, die ihrerseits den Cop jagen, weil er in Besitz eines wichtigen Tresorschlüssels ist. Mit Hilfe der kampfsporterfahrenen Interpolagentin Kim kann Ko den Kampf für sich entscheiden. Stuntgeladener Cop-Thriller aus Hongkong. Regisseur und Co-Produzent Philip Ko ("Mistaken Identity") machte es sich nicht schwer und spielte höchstselbst an der Seite von Kampfsportcracks wie Cynthia Luster ("Born To Fight 2-5") in den Straßen von Manila den Schwarzeneggererfolg "Red Heat" von Walter Hill nach. Das Experiment gelingt den Umständen entsprechend unterhaltsam, wenngleich die Umsetzung nicht unbedingt vor Originalität strotzt. Easternfreunde greifen zu.
