“HELIOS”
(2015) HONG KONG Movie Review
HELIOS is an adrenaline-fuelled and action packed crime thriller that will have you on edge.
The joint directors are Longman Leung and Sunny Luk who gave us their recent much-acclaimed Cold War.
No, this is not a successor to Cold War as many followers were led to believe. The former film still work better in terms of plot and solidarity.
HELIOS (2015) finale comes smack with a cliffhanger that hints that there’s more to come with another thrilling chapter. And a brand new cast of course, since the principal actors all perished in the line of duty.
The big-time bonus is an offering of regional famous names added to the actor list, so you’d certainly get more bang for your buck.
