I miss the goold-old HK flicks from the 70s, 80s and early 90s. They are bold, inventive and genre-defining. Now, these collaborations with China are stale and uninspiring.

yawn ... good luck Andy ...

Switch looks more like a Mr & Mrs Smith wannabe.

It's sad that these big-budget China-HK collaborations seem to lack ingenuity and are often unwatchable with lots of fake-looking CGI and uninteresting premise. China still has a long way to go before it can even catch up with Hollywood and churning tons of over-commercialized junks will not help.

That applies to the China industry as well. Imitate rather than innovate.
