The Twins Effect | Year: 2003 Directed: - Dante Lam Actors/Actresses: - Edison Chen Chinese vamp attack Charlene Choi and Gillian Chung- two of Chinas biggest pop stars(aka TWINS) must stop the "Duke" from openening "Day for Night"(vampire bible) which will give him control of the human world. Don't let the fact that these are two pop stars trying to fight vampires repel you. The film is actually pretty good- believe it or not. They have actually been in quite a few films and do pretty well. Along with Jackie Chan(small cameo scenes- not too much fighting), Ed(ison) Chen(my arch nemesis), Ekin Cheng(who is in numerous other TWINS movies), and Anthony Wong. How can you go wrong. Watch for the fight between TWINS(choreographed by Donnie Yen)- its pretty impressive-even though they have no martial arts training. It is essentially a teen film but it has good action and TWINS so its a must. P.S- watch out- TWINS are addictive. Seriously. Am I watching the same movie?! I never heard of this movie, but one day my Dad sent me a message about it, knowing that I was a huge fan of Martial Art movies, as well as Jackie Chan. I came here to check the user reviews and was impressed with basically nothing but 4 and 5 star reviews! Other sites also gave great reviews. I thought, "hey, how could I go wrong," so I purchased it. Well needless to say after watching it I was shocked! I was shocked at how this movie was getting all these 4 and 5 star reviews. This movie was average AT BEST. The story showed promise and the special effects are some of the best I've ever seen, for a Chinese film. It rivals anything done in the United States. The sound was pretty decent as well, though some music, during a couple scenes, sounded like cheesy porn music. What I couldn't get over though was some pretty cheesy dialogue, bad acting, and some parts that were just plain stupid (i.e. when Jackie Chan gives some Vampires some antidepressants and they dance to a "beat" he does on the Ambulance door). The only really great part about Vampire Effect is the two stars of the film. These girls are cute! They also threw down, and there was a couple good fight scenes, though there is better. They are making a sequel and I may check it out, but I don't think I'll buy it. I suggest to ANYBODY to only rent this one. This is the first DVD I ever regretted buying. A Light, Fluffy Movie It may be closer to 2 1/2 stars. I have the import version, The Twins Effect. No, its not a Jackie Chan movie, he has several annoying cameos. To be honest, the movie would have been better without him. That said, the fighting was pretty good, and the first scene in the train station was worth the price of admition. The rest of the movie was pretty fluffy. The story was OK, with an interesting take on Vampires. The acting was mediocre, but what does one expect from the Twins? All in all, a mildly entertaining diversion. Buy The Twins Effect at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
