For a Ringo Lam Movie I'm surprised there aren't more reviews. This is another movie I saw dubbed in English 2 years ago that I just bought the HK version of. SURPRISE! Most of the dialogue is in English. I'm not worldly enough as to know why this is.
Anyway even though most of this movie crawls along at a snails pace, I love it.
In a nutshell, after serving 12 years in prison Donny Lee is released. After being out for about 2 hours he's framed for killing a political contender and he's on the run.
I cared about Donny Lee from the beginning. Maybe because I hate politics and politicians and wanted to see the underdog screw the bigwigs in a big way. Boy, does the last half come on strong in a big way! What you think is a small story line gets (needlessly?)complicated real quick.
Thankfully before you know it Donny has some back up and the fireworks and showdowns begin. Good stuff.
