Despite decent performances and some rare intelligence, A-1 Headline is ultimately too cerebral to recommend, and too distant to get involved in.    Reviewby Kozo:Hong Kong Cinema gets socially conscious with the drama A-1 Headline. Directors Chung Kai-Cheong and Gordon Chan collaborate on this dramatic thriller that asks if truth and justice can come at too high a price. To dissect this theme, we get an involved, intelligent screenplay and a variety of solid Hong Kong actors, including the venerable Anthony Wong, the dependable Tony Leung Ka-Fai, and the capable Eric Kot. Teenage girls get Edison Chen, who barely registers onscreen in a mopey, lovestruck, slacker sort of way. Those who like babeage get the promising Angelica Lee, who's attractive and has actually won an acting award. Unfortunately, the filmmakers forgot to include one major factor: drama. Without that, A-1…

Daomadan plays the female warrior role that is highly skilled in military drill, usually riding a horse with a sword held in hand. They are mostly marshals or generals; hence often present an imposing manner, such as Mu Guiying, Fan Lihua, etc. In terms of stage performance, Daomadan attaches equal importance to chang (singing), nian (dialogue), and zuo (acting). She is also required to have combat skill, but the combat scene is far less fierce than that of “Wudan”, and stress is laid on figure posture, highlighting the mighty and dignified temperament of the role. Compared with other terminological names of Peking opera roles, Daomadan has got widespread fame for the namesake movie directed by Hark Tsui in 1986 (the film is entitled ‘刀马旦’ in Chinese, which writes ‘Daomadan’ in pinyin, but the English title is ‘Peking Opera Blues’).
