Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Tokyo Raiders
Len (Tony Leung) is Hong Kong's own James Bond: smooth, and lethal. He's been on the trail of a gang leader, which has led him to Tokyo, Japan. He aquires the help of two people. Macy (Kelly Chen), whose fiancee is involved in the gang himself, and John (Ekin Cheng), an interior decorator who received a bouncing check from Macy's hubby and is looking to get his money. This wild adventure leaves them no choice but to look after themselves and each other. The question is can they trust each other in order to seek the truth.
--A.D. Tandy, Resident Scholar
