Simon Loui has written a couple of very good screenplays [Paramount Motel, Undercover Blues] besides acting in every Hong Kong film made since 1990 [just kidding ;-)]. I guess he ran out of ideas here. Long-time film editor Marco Mak takes the directors credit but probably shouldn't have. One of the worst film's made in Hong Kong since Johnnie To's A Hero Never Dies[1998]. Michael Wong, speaking almost all English in the film, gives his worst performance yet. Awful.
