Summary: POTENTIALLY GOOD but.......
When i saw the first 20 minutes of this movie, i thought it was going to be a GREAT movie. After those 20 minutes it just goes downhill fast!!
The story/plot does not sustain itself. It turns from a serious thriller/action to a comedy (not on purpose either). It seems like another writer took over the movie script after the first 20 minutes and changed the movie into a joke!! The idea of Angie CHEUNG Wai-yee "special killer move aka the moveis title BODY WEAPON" is just stupid!! Finding the people who raped Cheung Wai-yee was WAY to easy (as if she just walked around the corner and they just happen to be there!!)

GOOD THINGS about the movie: If your expectng something very sexual, you might enjoy the first rape scene. The bad guys are down right nasty (and just the way we like it!!) The rapport between CHIU Man-cheuk's character and Stephen AU Kam-tong is excellent!! You really feel like they are best buddies!! The love tension between the 2 cops & Angie Cheung was realisitic. Chui Man-cheuk seems to be suited playing the shy guy!!
(SPOILER) Elvis Tsui Kam-Kong GAY CRUSH on Chui MAN_cheuk is a bit disturbing for me.

The action is OK to watch. It may seem like there are more positive points but the negatives DO outweigh the positives. Watch the first 20 minutes then switch off because you WILL be disappointed!! At best i can give it is about
