I was in a Chinatown mall recently and one of the DVD stores had this playing on the big TV. I watched a good 15 minutes of it, mostly around the scene in which Stephen Fung and (I think) one of the Twins battles some chick with razors and spikes and hidden weapons all over her costume. Pretty slick looking film. The story seems on par with most wannabe-high-concept Hong Kong thrillers like this (Tokyo Raiders, Skyline Cruisers and Downtown Torpedoes come to mind). Michael Wong as that Blofeld-style villain was inspired, but I swear that guy's voice loses more bass with each passing year: he's developing a monotone. He really ought to scream his lungs out at the beginning of each take just to get some range...
