There is much to enjoy in this female cop vs gangsters Hong Kong actioner. Joyce Godenzi proves to be very athletic and keen to do her own stunts. Corey Yuen handles the action with style, with the final girl on girl fight a real no holds barred affair. The plot is a little melodramatic at times, but I won't hold that against the film as a whole. This could be considered average by Hong Kong standards, but still superior to what Hollywood has to offer. Added plus - Sammo Hung, who co produced this for his wife Joyce, puts in a funny cameo. Watch out especially for the hanky scene.
Good movie, it combines action with humour. The director have tried to keep it realistic according asian values. Defintely one to watch.
