Summary: More relationship than racing
I've never been much of a motorcycle racing fan, but I thought i'd give this one a shot, as anything with Andy Lau in it is sure to be great. As a racing movie I do believe this fails. There are very few racing scenes and very few shots would establish the situations. Most of the racing scenes only go towards character development and establishing injuries to be sorted out later. Most of the movie revolves aroudn the relatioship between Andy Lau and Gigi Leung Wing-Kei, his girlfriend of 7 years. The interactions between the racers at the local bars and the on the racetracks make for spurring the stroy and changing Andy Lau's views of his girlfriend. I would recommend this movie for Andy Lau fans, but overall it wasn't as interesting as a relationship or a racing film as i thought. 6/10
