Donnie Yen is at his very best here as a rude, short-temperedformer cop who goes on the run from the law with pretty, refined lawyer Rosamund Kwan after they witness a botched robbery attempt. Not only do the cops think they are murderers, but the real robbers think they got away with the money. Of course, Rosamund soon finds out that underneath the surface, Donnie really has a heart of gold. But that doesn't stop him from kicking major butt throughout most of this movie. The final climactic battles against Michael Woods and Robin Shou by themselves would make the film worth watching. But there is far more to this film than that, especially because Donnie Yen is so good at portraying characters who can be tough and silly at the same time. His comic talents are on full display here. By the way, the only relation this film has to the first TIGER CAGE is a brief appearance by Carol "DoDo" Cheng.
