In a time when American action movies bore even the 13 year olds to tears, this is a welcome change. A quintissential HK actioner, with engaging characters, a solid storyline and action choreography that would give any American stunt coordinator a coronary. The subtitles on the copy I saw were a comedic endeavor in and of themselves. Nevertheless, watch this and cherish the fact that somewhere on this planet, films like this can actually get made.
(9/10)
