Summary: Good i guess............
Firstly i like to say that the version i watched was of POOR quality. Unfortunately it was the "Bring my camera into the cinemna and tape it" version. I really think i should change video stores.....

Also from what i read on this page, the POOr version i saw had the beginning cut out!! And i know there is a part in the middle that was cut out too!! AAARRGGHHH i am getting sick of my video store!! Also i could hear this constant buzzing in the background, which could be the A/c but it was annoying and i think really reduced the effective of the dark scenes in the movie.

Now that is all said, i thought the movie was pretty good. The supernatural theme at the beginning is a good idea. It makes more sense when you watch it. I have never seen Lau Ching WAn play a character like this before and it was GREAT!! The stand out for me was Tony Leung who plays a dedicated cop who loves his family but finds it hard to show it.

There are twists and turns here which will suprise you. BE WARNED, IF you want to watch this movie for it's supernatural theme, you will not get what you want!!

Ok, from the tainted version i saw with bits cut out for some unknown reason and the fact the quality was poor, my TAINTED SCORE will be

7/10

PS. If i watched a decent, view-able version of this, i am sure my score would go up!!
