If Vanguard hit the spot, these will too

Stanley Tong Gwai-Lai directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: Not nearly as tense as Vanguard

Both are Stanley Tong Gwai-Lai's work, and they rhyme
The difference: Missing the grit of Vanguard

Kinetic where it counts, epic underneath
The difference: Sits closer to drama than Vanguard does

The same mix in both: grit, then tension
The difference: Critics rated this one higher still

Witty and playful in the same breath
The difference: Made in the 1990s, in a different era of the craft

Kinetic action in both cases

Both keep coming back to the same thing: fight

Both are built on the same subject: espionage

The same preoccupation in both: survival

Adventure with a pulse of scale, in both cases

Common ground: kidnapping

Both lean on grit more than on crime
