  • Eastern Action that exceeds expectations

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By Ben Edmundson from Surrey, England , 26 Jan 2004

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This film is a must see for fans of modern action films. The usual guns and martial arts are given something new, and included is some incredible acrobatics. Its firmly set in the real world, with no dodgy wire work, and a plot (shock horror) and actual acting. We find our hero (who is not some superman) in a very real life situation at the beginning of the film, not really getting along with life and getting a job. I thought I was watching the wrong film for a bit. The story slowly builds, as does the pace, until its non stop frenzied fun.

    If you like Die Hard, and Hard Boiled, you will like this. Get it!

  • Welcome Back Tsui Hark

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By drunkenmaster (479 reviews) from Merthyr Tydfil, , 03 Nov 2005
    This is the film that saw Tsui Hark returning to Hong Kong action films propper after a few films with Jean Claude Van Damme. Some of the old imaginative magic is on show here, and Nicholas Tse does quite well in the lead role. He plays a would be bodyguard who bites off a bit more than he can chew to make money to help the woman he got pregnant.

    Don't get me wrong, this is in no way as good as some of Harks earlier Hong Kong work. This is eminently watchable, if not that memorable when all is said and done. It is, however, a vast improvement on either of the two Van Damme efforts. Anthony Wong is also criminally wasted in a supporting part.

  • Excellent Hong Kong action movie from Hark Tsui

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By a customer from London, England , 20 Jul 2005
    Great cinematography and a tight but complex plot makes this movie stand out from most of the formula HK actions (John Woo etc) - the rapid transitions can make it a little confusing at times but well worth it if you're willing to concentrate a little, like some depth to your characters and don't expect to be spoon fed the usual hackneyed gangster plot-line.
