Hon zin 2

While I really enjoyed the first film in this series, this follow-up isn't anywhere near so good. It follows straight on from the first one but brings back characters whose arcs were already complete for a new story that feels like it was made up on the spot. All of the major players return (Andy Lau excepted) with newcomer Chow Yun Fat playing the role of a lawyer eager to prosecute corrupt cops. What we get is a needlessly complex, laboured and occasionally histrionic story that has a few cool action sequences (dodgy CGI aside) and very little else. The actors are fine but but the screenwriter not so...

I can understand many got loss in their arguments, the plots, etc This movie cannot be fully appreciated with just 1 watch.

I have to watch it about 5 times, replay certain parts to know what they are saying because the acting by the actors were truly amazing!

Please hurry the next sequel

The first movie was nice and complex but this second was simply made up, bad directed story and lots no illogical nonsense scenes stories. 1. MB Lee has gone so hard to meet the ex CP and his son but both of them drive him back? What a big laugh nonsense. 2. If they are so professional, why nobody guard that workshop backdoor? 3. The underground tunnel is another big laugh showing Rambo never dies even with machine guns and special guns. 4. Even I not a cop nor any near professional, also knows I will not fall for the CP tricks to lure the bad guys out. 5. When these bad guys so professional can make bombs and detector, why the junk yard has no other detectors? 6. A simple gangster has few phones and why top police has no money to carry any extra? Why there is no other to take the new position CP and still the same CP?

This movie is another ordinary simple actions, bombing, shootings, fightings that cannot grasp a real memory to audience. HK was never near the top 10 safest city or country. It was once known as no 1 in Asia and top 5 in the world as crime city or country. But this last decade had changed because China had took over and lessen democratic while increased dictatorship. HK is also a small place so governing is easier than most countries, hence crimes further reduced. This motto is to promote HK and cover the dark side of HK.

I have watched this film more than 7 times, review, rewind to catch some of the moments, character and conversation that i missed out in previous viewing.

The 1st time when i saw it, i must admit, i was not able to catch the full meaning and why certain characters behaved the way they did and missed out some small conversations but are critical to the plot.

But with each viewing my understanding of each character, sequence, and the entire story improves.

This is a very well crafted movie that deserves nothing less than a 10/10 rating. The story is so well crafted, the characters so well acted, the conversations so well spoken and planned for you have to go through the film a few more times to fully appreciate if you find it hard to give it a 10/10 rating.

I am very sure you will appreciate it more if you take your time to know what it is trying to portray.

This is the only movie i have watched so many rounds and enjoy every session. The highlight is the exchange quick spats between Sean Lau and MB Lee when MB Lee came to confront Lau why Lau shot at his son.

This sequence is so difficult to do and as an artiste myself, i know it really takes a lot to do this sequence so perfectly well and yet these 2 veteran actors did it so effortlessly!

Go buy the original DVD and enjoy the show over and over again! This is one of the BEST the industry has to offer.

This is already a political propaganda film, which clearly puts the Legislative Council on the table. The key is that one of the main plot lines of the whole film is the checks and balances of rights. It's busy to set rules, play in competitions, whistle and send out news releases to make a fool of yourself. Returning to the film itself, it's too far away from the front, and it's hard for the audience to connect the plot. In addition, compared with the previous one, this one is just like turning the table and fighting the knife. The plot has no depth, the story is full of twists and turns, and the struggle turns into a round system. In the first half, I call on you in the second half. If it weren't for some performances, it would be for the evaluation of the dog-tailed mink.
