best action-thriller in years


certainly the best action-thriller film for Dante Lam (e.g. much better than The Sniper).
it is tensed, nail-biting and fast paced.
Also the plot builts on an ironic coincidence which turns out to be a fateful tragedy.
well-worth watching, satisfaction guarantee

HongKong traditionally make good cop films. This one might be the best for Dante Lam, certainly don't stand out among it's peers.

ye, this was one of the best hk movies from the last few years (wow, time flies by).

i especially liked nick cheung in his portrayal of the bad guy.. damn, he was so creepy in his role.

The action scenes are well directed, but the melodramatic plot is just riddled with contrivances, coincidences and unlikely events, which is a shame, as the film did have potential.🐭
