Watch it for Anita

In "Tragic Commitment", Anita Yuen plays Dr. Lan Xiao Tong, an obstetrician whose husband Alex (Julian Cheung) blows himself up by lighting a cigarette while standing near tanks of propane gas. Just before he breathes his last breath, Alex reveals to Xiao Tong and his mother Ying (Deannie Ip) that he has a pregnant mistress named Blackie (Josie Ho) and asks that they take care of Blackie and Alex's future baby. Shocked to learn of her now-deceased husband's infedelity, Xiao Tong nonetheless goes in search Blackie and finds her in a run-down tenement inhabited by hookers, bums, and her abusive father, a former movie stunt man. To put it mildly, things don't go well between Xiao Tong and Blackie. Ying, however, makes a deal with Blackie -- Ying will pay her a million dollars if she will agree to live with Ying and Xiao Tong until after the baby is born. This mix of personalities under one roof proves to be as explosive as the propane that killed Alex. "Tragic Commitment" is a rather heavy-handed, sometimes crudely made melodrama, saddled with cheesy incidental music that leaves the viewer expecting Snidely Whiplash to pop out of the shadows and threaten some damsel in distress. Anita Yuen gives one of her customary fine performances. Unfortunately, Josie Ho spends most of the movie overacting terribly; this was only her second screen role and she was nowhere near as good an actress as she now is. Fans of Anita Yuen definitely should check this one out, but this one could have been much improved with better writing and a more experienced actress in the Blackie role. |
