Who Cares

WHO CARES is an odd little mix of thriller and horror film and another that's never even got a DVD release, as far as I know, which means we're stuck watching VHS copies. In part it feels like a spin-off of the female lead action genre which offered such films as OPERATION PINK SQUAD and THE INSPECTOR WEARS SKIRTS, with Sibelle Hu leading a mostly female police squad in the hunt for antique robbers. Hu is on form here and Kara Wai is part of the squad, but they're up against Dick Wei as the big bad, and the great news is that he gets way more screen time than usual with plenty of fight scenes. The other part of the film is a traditional hopping vampire flick with lots of wacky moments and creative battles against the undead. It's not perfect, but it offers a bit of everything.
