From the title to the story to the acting, Kant Leung's 2001 release Ultimatum is about as generic and tedious as an "action" movie could possibly be. Those fans of the great thespian Michael Fitzgerald Wong hoping to hear him utter bon mots are also going to be disappointed, because Mikey's voice is dubbed in, and very poorly at that.

The early 2000's were, for the most part, a fairly low point in the history of Hong Kong cinema, mostly because the releases tended to be uninventive low-budget fare such as this. Even the most ardent Hong Kong movie fan can probably find something better to do with their time rather than actually setting aside ninety minutes to watching Ultimatum.
