  • Unoriginal thriller that is a pale copy of modern American gangster movies, particularly those of Martin Scorsese; it features more scenes of a shirtless or naked Daniel Wu than the narrative needs.

    Promising initially.....

    Looked promising initially then downhill thereafter. Pretty thin. Simply not in the same league as Infernal Affairs I or II both of which have depth and guts... more

    A mid week film to watch

    A very good film but you have see it a second time to get the full plot and enjoy the story.

    Disappointed

    This film was rented and I didn't realise it was subtitled.

    Also the story is quite terrible to say the least......Choice is yours really!
