when inspector lee (danny lee) and his o.c.t.b. team catch up with a violent gang of robbers, the gang's leader, ho (anthony wong), and his girlfriend, cindy (cecilia yip), go on the run. it's time for lee to get his man...

well, this is a strange little film. it would be gritty, if it didn't have such a cartoon like quality. inspector lee is a hard boiled, bad ass cop, who just doesn't play by the rules, he's happy to beat information from suspects, has no respect for his bumbling superiors and the independent police auditors, who he constantly makes look stupid. meanwhile, anthony wong leads his gang, who have murdered and mutilated themselves through several robberies, but has a heart, as his strange relationship with cecilia yip goes to show, even if he is an unhinged, violent thief and murderer.

a strange and morally ambiguous set up. there are no sides to cheer for, just watch it play out and enjoy the shoot-out at the end.
