Whoever says this film is rubbish is completly wrong it is great although yes tony leung does reprise his role from hard boiled it does borrow from some hk films but what films doesnt borrow from others but it has most of the top actors in hk film today ive watched it too many times to say other wise and it has a great soundtrack as well which is a plus for a hk film .IA 2 for me is a better film but this is still great
