Summary: Great Action but......
That's right. I don't care what anyone says, the action in it was awesome. BUT (that's right, there's a but) the story happened too fast.

The characters were dying out really quick and there wasn't enough history about them. So you have this dramatic moment but you don't really care because the characters haven't been in the movie long enough.

Everyone knows the plot: 10 Chinese prisoners are given a chance to get their American citizenship and $200,00 cash if they go to Vietnam and destroy a missile base that was left by the Americans. Lam Ching Ying is the leader of this operation.

3 Cambiodian females meet and help them on their journey. They have to go through a village to get someone, and end up getting in more trouble then they could handle. Fortunately for them, Yuen Biao has no choice but to join them.

Now there's something I want to talk about: Yuen Biao.

I think his character is so cool. He's like super slcik. And the hair and the earing makes him look so bad-ass.

The fights aren't long, but the action and choreography is there. Believe me, it's great. Also, you got your humor , but it's dialogue humor, not action (well, some action humor in the end).

So basically everyone except for a few people get killed (watch the movie to find out who. Yeah you can guess two of them, but you'd never expect the other(s) to be who he/she/they are).

So you got this fast moving, not really dramatic, war time movie that has great action.

Oh... a note on just a few of the action points. There are about 3 things that are complete nonsense in the action. But The ones that Sammo does, well, he makes it look really good.
