This below-par Hong Kong thriller (a sequel of sorts to Police Story III: Supercop) is distinguished only by the graceful high kicking of Michelle Yeoh (Tomorrow Never Dies). She plays a police inspector on the trail of bank robbers, who discovers that her ex-boyfriend is involved, leading to a bunch of flatly directed, by-the-numbers martial arts encounters. The siege opening and climactic heist push some of the right buttons, but there's a disappointing lack of style or substance on display. Bizarrely, Hong Kong superstar Jackie Chan has a one-scene cameo, as a cop foiling a jewellery store robbery — in drag.

Supercop
Started watching this film then remembered this is also known as 'Super cop'.
So here is my previous review for this film:
Although I enjoyed this film and thought Michelle Yeoh was fantastic, there was an element to the film that had a Police story feel to it. I.e. Uncle Bill (Can't remember his real name) and an appearance from Jackie Chan.
This is not a bad thing as it enables you to get in to the characters a bit more.
The fight scenes were well put together and the film moved at a good pace. -

Better than average
Unlike the majority of Asian martial flicks, this film had a strong storyline. All to often Hong Kong cinema insists on building modern martial arts films around a bafflingly complex storyline that simply doesn't tie the fight sequences together well enough. Whilst I sympathise with wanting to move the medium on from 'you killed my master, now I kill you', the cost to narrative drive is telling. This, the tale of a female cop pursuing her criminal boyfriend, is a worthy addition to the superb police story series.
Oh, don't think this is a Jackie Chan flick, bar the one scene that features him, the movie plays for action not laughs. -
