I confess that I didn’t really expect much of The Untold Story 2. After all, the events of The Untold Story didn’t lend themselves to a sequel. I figured some triad film producers decided that popping out a quick sequel […]

Category III flicks usually turn out to be one of two things: softcore romps rushed out to make a quick buck or genre flicks saturated in sleaze and/or violence. Obsession straddles the two (no pun intended).

The script by Wong Wai-Keung and Dick Lee starts out […]
