In this installment, boisterous Chow Yun Fat tries to keeppeace between HK and mainlander prison factions, but ends up being set up for murder and a revenge hit. The evil warden nearly combusts when Chow and his mainlander buddy escape, resulting in a series of improbable (though invigorating) chases. It's a somber melodrama with a hilarious twist at the end (that is, if you've seen POF 1).

(2.5/4)
