The incredibly talented Phillip Chan takes a unique and effective approach to the triad script, hiring the underrated Tsui kam Kong to play Mandarin cops who have fled to HK, and are coerced to snitch on the triads for freedom, but nobody ever survives such a suicidal mission. Honor an dold bonds between Tsui's team and the triads complicate situations, while the lush distractions of the Hong Kong city life intoxicates the focus of the rest of the team leading to a disaster. The brotherhood between veteran immigrant snitch Alex Man and Tusi Kam Kong is memorable and chilling. The scene where the triad leader uses the Man's cigarette lighter, after the devastated Tsui finds out that Man was found dead, is incredibly emotionally intense and chilling. In many ways, much more superior and powerful than the original. A movie full of heart, honor, frsutration, and justice. This is probably the most emotional movie ever made, with Wang Lung Wei's incredible Hong Kong Godfather(1985) aka Heroes of East Tsimshatsui coming in #1. See this movie. Tsui Kam Kong is Hong Kong's best actor, and he proves himself with this movie. There isn't an actor yet that matches his intensity and humanity. This is Tsui Kam Kong's movie. 5/5
