The story line is closer to dark Hollywood ganster movie like Goodfellas, Casino than other Triad HK movies. It revolves around an undercover cop who turned bad. In this movie, Daniel Wu (who always plays good guy) is the villian. Unfortunately, he is potrayed more as a viscious crook while lacking the style and panache of say, (Hou Nam of the Y & D series). You actually feel good when he finally had it in the end. Nevertheless, a well made triad movie.
