A cut-and-paste job from the infinitude of HK triad dramas, with Andy Lau as an ex-con who gives up his teaching career to become a hatchet-man for the triads (?). When his wife and boss are raped and murdered, Lau is framed for the crime, but his old pal from prison (now a lawyer) acts as his defense against prosecutor C. K. Chong 'The Terminator.' I've never seen fight and courtroom scenes handled so lackadaisically.

(1.5/4)
