Members of an international task force seek justice against the leader of an Asian drug cartel and his murderous henchmen.

If it makes for a breathlessly assaultive, vastly entertaining couple of hours, it can be discomfiting whenever there's a brief pause in the pelting gunfire and we glimpse the contours of the actual, flesh-and-blood tragedy.

Though more sensationalistic than serious, this film has a scale and an energy that rivals any Hollywood blockbuster.

3/5

Restlessly kinetic even by Far Eastern standards, the film eventually settles into a tolerably frenetic groove, but it's best when Lam allows the suspense to build.

Operation Mekong is a definite action film, HK style, which will definitely find appeal to all fans of the genre. Its commercial success was utterly justified.

This is why you watch Hong Kong action movies: for vicious, elegantly choreographed, fearless car chases that never let you lose sight of the action and always leave you catching your breath.

The zeal with which Lam directs everything is as undeniably cheesy as action filmmaking ever gets. I think he takes Operation Mekong very seriously, but that doesn't mean I have to.

The plot is a little broken into pieces, but overall good action movie.

A Special Ops team's mission is to fight drug traffikers coming out of the Golden Triangle. The movie did not need to be this long. It struggled the entire time to hold my attention. It takes thirty minutes before any action gets really going, but it's sloppy action. The final battle in the jungle goes on and on and on. Then there's a boat chase which goes on and on and on. On the positive side the film did show me some beautiful country I will never be able to afford to travel to.

Almost watched it again 2 months after the first viewing because I didn't remember seeing it. That should tell you how memorable a movie this was.

well made action flick. lots of great action scenes, lots of beautiful shots, and some great music. but the story was sloppy with too many different moving parts, including some that seem unnecessary. i would love to watch just the action sequences again (1 viewing)
