This is quite a different movie from "THE MISSION"
THE MISSION had what i called slow action, this is a lot more fast paced action.

The basic plot is Anthony Wong and Lam Suet are ordered by Simon Yam to kill Nick Cheung, for a past failed attempt on the triad bosses life but Francis Ng and Roy Cheung are there to stop them. One thing leads to another and you find out that they all (all 5) were friends when they were younger. (Which makes it a little strange when you see them meet for the first time in THE MISSION) and the deal is Nick Cheung gets one shot to earn big bucks for his family before he goes toe to toe with Anthony Wong. Things dont turn out that great, one disaster leads to some hope, which leads to another disaster and the cycle repeats itself.

This movie, like THE MISSION has a lot of style and substance, are
and you drawn into there world from the first scene.
The use of music definately works well here providing the right atmosphere!!
All the actors are brillant, Francis Ng would be the stand out but only by just to the others. Richie Ren small role was a delightful suprise.

There are not many bad things you can say about this movie, the ending, is it predictable? Did it end the right way? I am still not sure whether i am satisfied with the ending but apart from this there is no other flaws that i can identify.

A worthy sequel to THE MISSION, though THE MISSION is slighty better but its own unique way
