This film is one of my favorite HK action films of all time. It's all because of the cast and the action that make up this film!!! The plot, involving four unlikely heroes who must infiltrate a gang, whose leader works for a Yakuza terrorist, is something I would expect from Hollywood.

Benny Chan did an excellent job as director of this film. A lot of the credit goes to Arthur Wong for his excellent style of photography and to Nicky Li Chung Chi, for training the stars (Nicholas TSE, Stephen FUNG, and Sam LEE) for the hard stunts and fight sequences. It was such a shame that Nicholas was doubled in the finale due to a knee injury.

The villains, led by Toru NAKAMURA and Daniel WU, were great. Daniel had that evil but somewhat cool look to him. I thought Jaymee ONG looks great as Haze, the troubled girl who came between Daniel and Match.

Eric TSANG gave some great flair as Inspector Chan, the troubled officer who recruits our heroes into action. From his first scene, you will hate Moses CHAN's character of Inspector To. He thinks he is always right and is such a jerk!!! You will like Francis NG's character of Lok. He is so funny in his scene with Akatora, played with sheer coolness by Nakamura. One more thing: Look for a cameo by Jackie CHAN!!!

4 out of 4!!!! I love this film...look forward to seeing GEN-Y COPS!!!
