I remember the director of the movie was one of the famous action movie in Hong Kong and undoubtedly the action scenes were good inside the movie. However, the plot was quite weak and it is easy to say how coincidental many things are. In addition, the male actors were acting good in the movie but the 2 main actresses were just acting in their own ways. The story was about the life of an undercover of police in a gang and how he fought with his life to against the gangs, however, I could not sense much excitement and nearly felt asleep inside. I should have forgotten the movie soon and really hope can have a better plot next time.

Dante Lam's return to Hong Kong action cinema is a most welcome addition to the genre, and one of my favorite action films recently.

The plot follows Nick Cheung's narcotics detective on the hunt for a drug lord and his associates, while at the same time handling an undercover officer. There's also a few subplots concerning the detective's son, now involved with dangerous triads, and one of the drug kingpin's female associates who tries to find a way out of the underworld.

I came for the shootouts and brawls and that's exactly what I got, performed with a degree of excitement and enthusiasm I hadn't seen since Raging Fire. While the storyline is same old, same old, the pacing is relentless and plot turns satisfying, so I can't complain too much. Nick Cheung shows no signs of age as he mercilessly pursues his foe, while Lee Jung-jae lookalike Shaun Tam presents a formidable character who stops at nothing to get what he wants.

In fact, this single-minded, nihilistic determination describes the film as a whole. Its no-holds-barred approach leads the film to some very dark places, even for a HK actioner. It seems Lam's newfound inspiration brought him right back to the same playground he was in until he shifted to Mainland China. Finally we get the same guy who once directed Beast Stalker, That Demon Within and the likes. And he's obviously honed his action directing chops even more, so we get some finely choreographed fistfights and plenty of intense shootouts and explosions.

Welcome back, Dante Lam. We missed you.

Most of users might expect too high and get disappointed, I could understand, but personally I appreciate the hardwork, the great storyline, the outstanding shooting, and great performance from every single cast at the movie.

I must say I enjoy so much, and get the point where got to be sad or thrilled, the message is well delivered, the package is epic.

It has been some time for Hongkong movie industry got no big action movie like this, especially those gangsters and such a big come back.

Hopefully near future could keep produce good movie like this. So proud of asian movie, hong kong movies.
