About This Movie

The Big Score is an interesting blend of action and crime, with Wong Jing at the helm, both writing and directing. He plays this sort of hapless but resourceful character caught in a whirlwind of trouble as he seeks revenge for his friend. It's got a gritty tone that's pretty typical of early '90s Hong Kong cinema, mixed with Wong's signature humor even in serious moments. Danny Lee brings a solid portrayal of the cop trying to keep Wong's character safe while navigating a world filled with shady figures. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds a certain rawness to the film. Practical effects are used in some action scenes that give it a nice, gritty feel, enhancing that classic vibe.
