    Best Hong Kong made movie yet!!!

    This movie is superb. From the action, to the cinematography, to the technological aspects, to the superb fight scenes, it is awesome. The technology they use makes Bond look like he's using rubber bands and paper clips. This is a must see. Great plot, with action in the air, the water, and the streets.

    good style, good movie

    don't expect a plot that makes a whole lot of sense - it's all about cool special/free-for-hire agents and double-crossings and out- smarting and stuff - sort of like a james bond without the cheesyness.

    but this movie really surprised me for it's very well executed and creative action scenes. even now, years later, i vividly remember how a gangster boss gets shot up: first, they cut the power and come in with infrared goggles and shower everything in bullets, then the bad guys catch on and put on their own nightvision gear - they are prepared, of course. next thing, the heroes swap goggles for sunglasses and throw flares... so they outsmart the gangsters, but, perhaps more importantly, they also LOOK way, way cooler - and that is the whole point!

    excellent stuff.

    • Trivia
      A prop worker died from getting hit in the head by an iron plate during the filming of an explosion scene in April 1997. Several people involved with the production were charged with manslaughter, including director Matthieu Mendès, however none were convicted, the death being ruled an accident.
    • Alternate versions
      While the film's 4/3 pan-and-scan version crops out a lot of the image on the left and right of the frame, it does contain slightly more image at the bottom, which is cropped out from the film's widescreen presentation.
