Blu-ray Review – Tiger Cage

1988's "Tiger Cage" looks to provide some voltage to viewers in the mood for supercop antics, this time focusing on the drug trade in Hong Kong, with a team of law enforcement types out to take down a defined enemy, encountering a far more insidious evil in the department itself. The picture is directed by genre legend Woo-Ping Yuen, best known to Western audiences as the action choreographer on "The Matrix" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." The helmer brings righteous intensity to the endeavor, making sure to keep the story running along with incident and set pieces, while the screenplay is attentive to a certain element of surprise without getting too deep in mystery, submitting a corrupt cop tale with some punch, literally and dramatically.
