Premise is interesting that does not resort to much

(2000) Double Tap (In Chinese with English subtitles) ACTION/ DRAMACo-written and directed by Chi-Leung Law which by looking at the title, "Double Tap" it is really part of a gun range game where Hong Kong police play at with a score card, where it involves several different targets wooden targets of criminals and pedestrians and be able to shoot two bullets exactly at the same hole. Interesting beginning about the double tap shooting game resorting to an unnecessary build up to a predictable conclusion. Leslie Chung as Rick slow descend into madness after a convenient interruption of a shooting game for the Hong Kong law enforcement by a suicidal by cop.

Pretty Good!!

Double Tap (Gun King) is plainly not just an action movie, this movie is also filled with suspenseful drama.Leslie Cheung plays Rick, an expert marksman who shoots a threatening bystander during a match against his CID competitor, played by Alex Fong, who could not attempt to stop the bystander. After that killing accident, Rick does not feel scared or nervous, but HAPPY?! A few years later, the police suspects Rick of killing a witness and 4 cops in a trial court case. The trail turns into a cat-and-mouse game until the final stand-off. This movie is deeply emotional, for Rick's first kill brings a feeling of an addiction as he becomes a threat to the police. It showed how pitted rivals faced against each other, a cop afraid of shooting to kill pit off against someone who won't stop at nothing to kill. It makes you think whether killing makes you afraid of being addicted? Worth considered to check out.

Unfortunately not an outstanding Hong Kong movie...

For a Hong Kong action movie, then "Double Tap" was a bit on the more lame side, unfortunately.The story is about Ricky (played by Leslie Cheung), a gunsmith and an ace marksman, who is forced to kill a man at a shooting competition, as the man is threatening Ricky's girlfriend with a gun. The ordeal leaves a lasting impression on Ricky and makes his develop a taste for blood. Three years later, people are found dead, shot through the head with the special 'double tap' technique that only a few men in Hong Kong are capable of doing. Detective Miu (played by Alex Fong) is the high-ranking detective on the case to solve these murders. And it soon becomes a chase of cat and mouse, as time is running out and more dead police officers are showing up.Like many other Hong Kong action movies, this movie had a great amount of action that was accompanied by a good story. However, there was just something missing from this movie. It moved ahead at a slow pace, and it was fairly anti-climatic all in all. The movie never really peaked, but just kept pacing onward at a dull pace.Oddly enough, not even Leslie Cheung was able to keep this movie afloat, and it came off as just slightly over average compared to other Hong Kong movies of the same genre. The acting performances in the movie were good, but without that key ingredient that was missing from the movie, good acting performances are only worth so much.There are other, and far better, Hong Kong action movies available, and "Double Tap" is worth watching mostly if you are a fan of Leslie Cheung, or like myself, just have to watch all Hong Kong movies that you come across.The DVD cover said that t his movie was in, and I quote, "Matrix style". Yeah, that was somewhat of an over-exaggeration. There was surprisingly little in "Double Tap" that could be even remotely compared to "The Matrix". So don't get suckered in by that false advertising.
