    With a highly impressive 7-minute opening scene done in a single take, it raised my expectation level on how enjoyable the rest of the film might be. It just fizzled from that point on.

    John Woo of today,To is using his techniques to the utmost overreaction.Drama,altercation of images and a twirling ballet of bullets and camera angles.The plot is fading as the pace is growing and the news device showing the manipulation of the public is too naive.Still,it smashe...( read more)s all the everyday Hollywood flicks.

    The rare Hong Kong action movie that actually has something to say. Johnnie To satirizes the sensationalism of the 24 hour news cycle while shooting his stylish action scenes with dazzling camera work. The opening scene in particular is a marvel.

    Well... a Hongkong flick that really interesting. Almost whole scenes were made in a crowded apartment area. Johny To set the story become very interesting with his nonstop suspense and gun-craze. Very nice to know Hongkong has this kinda movie
