an excellent plot combined with a pretty sloppy production gets a sideways thumb from me on this one.

Danny Lee is the head of a robbery ring, and Chow Yun-Fat is the undercover cop out to bust him in this film that was the inspiration for "Reservoir Dogs", right down to the relationship between Chow's "Mr. Orange" type character and Lee's "Mr. White" type character, and Lee's dispatching of a police squad car with the two-fisted guns. Tarantino just took this movie and added the black-and-white suits from ABT2 and some snappy dialogue about Madonna and 70's music.

Not a whole lot of action in this one, but the plot is the real champ here. Too bad it wasn't better from the technical standpoint. I liked "Reservoir Dogs" much better.
