I can't even begin to explain what this movie was about, as it was all over the place. Potentially this could have been a good movie, but they simply got it all wrong because they just tried to squeeze in as much as possible. So this ends up meaning there are about 6 stories all bunched up together in 90 minutes, meaning you only just start getting into the movie before the story changes to something else.

The 'main' story is of a cop (Tony Leung) who goes undercover in a prison, to uncover a theory that one of the high officers at the prison is working for the government in using prisoners as assassins. But Tony Leung, along with friend Sammo Hung try to bring the truth out.

What makes this movie really stupid is that everyone seems to be sent to the same prison for doing totally different crimes, this just makes no sense in the real world.

Still, Tony Leung was a very good actor in this compared to the majority of his films, he played a convincing part. Sammo Hung and Andy Lau are also pretty good, although Andy Lau doesn't appear much. Jackie Chan is also in the movie, but not as a main character, and to be honest, I don't know why he was in it, because he didn't do much, I can think of loads of other actors that could have played his part much better. Jackie Chan needs to stick to comedies I think, he just doesn't convince you that he is a criminal, especially when you see him shooting cops at the end!

If this movie had not included Jackie Chans or Andy Laus charcters, and
therefore being able to concentrate on the main story better, this could have been a good movie.

Don't think this is a Jackie Chan movie, like a lot of people think, it's nothing of the kind, he just plays little more than a cameo part. Don't buy it if you are only buying it for seeing Jackie Chan, it's not worth it, despite what the other reviewer said before me.

Rating (out of 5): 2
