Featured review
In Hong Kong, a weapon dealer has a special computer chip, which is needed to build a secret missile. He is trying to sell it to a foreign goverment. The local secret police, the CIA and an enemy band is looking for him, but he has a very rich and influential man as his partner.
Not as bad as some reviews suggest. It's a well-paced Hong Kong actioner with a good cast and an interesting enough story, though the narrative gets buried amidst the splendid action sequences, which what drives this film. It's what makes it so watchable. Donnie Yen is in his bone-crunching form, taking on some bad hombres, however his character comes across unlikeable, arrogant and quite caveman-like in his approach to detective work. He beats up a gangster, trying to get some answers from him, instead of putting his little grey cells to the test, or use some guile.
