well, it's a bit hard to say what genre this film falls into, but i suppose that could be said for a lot of hong kong's output...

it's a part drama, part comedy and part triad film, but it kinda works.

eric tsang returns from brasil after 30 years to seek revenge on an old triad brother and find his lost love. to do this, he teams up with nicholas tse, a young triad, hoping that this could be his ticket to notoriety, but all may not be quite as it seems...

it's an enjoyable film with good performances throughout, it get's away with it's genre changing as it manages to be funny when it needed, dramatic when needed and there's even some good triad action.

it's also worth watching for it's all-star cast; kelly chen, anthony wong (who is very funny), sandra ng (who looks amazing as an ultra-cool triad boss), stephen fung, sam lee etc etc etc...
