    I must be really easy to please, despite the hatred for this film I found it to be quite entertaining. It doesn't even come close to a lot of action films but it was way better than I expected. I could spend days trying to figure out the plot, how the character's were all relat...( read more)ed by the police shootout where a brother was killed and now, years later...huh? You hit a certain point when summarizing the plot when you realize it makes absolutely no sense, but it didn't bother me while I watched it. It was bloodier and more sadistic than a lot of it's ilk and it was fun seeing Michael Biehn play a block of wood.

    Even though the plot is pretty simple, Dragon Squad takes forever to move the story along. It clocks in at around two hours, but feels longer than that, because Daniel Lee seems more concerned about showing "touching" scenes like the kids bonding over shooting targets in a galler...( read more)y or re-using the same comic-book style inserts rather than actually advancing the story. There are quite a few action sequences, which action director Chin Kar-Lok handles well, but most of the excitement is leeched out by the schizophrenic "MTV style" editing that plagues far too many films from both the east and west.

    All in all, Dragon Squad makes a valiant attempt. Hell, it was nice seeing Sammo starring in a project that wasn't a total embarrassment like most of his recent work like Legend of the Dragon. But the film-makers couldn't seem to pull all of the elements together to make anything other than an average action movie.

    The title I've seen this one under was Dragon Heat. Basically a group of elite cops takes on a group of elite criminals.
    The movie is action packed with a gun fight going on every eight minutes or so and most of the gun fights are fun to watch (although nothing really stands out...( read more)). The plot is full of so many holes and goes off in so many directions that it makes simple difficult to follow so by the end of the movie I had lost most of my interest in it.

    Highly stylized action extravaganza!
    Lots of gunplay, martial arts and bloody fight sequences--on offer.

    Five interpol agents are drafted into Hong Kong to watch over a witness in an important trial, while being transported the convoy is ambushed by a gang of masked gun m...( read more)an.


    Stylish, visually stunning, great soundtrack, impressive action scenes.. but the story, its messed up.
    With more than 10 major characters to juggle, with their own agenda.. bam! confusion takes over!
    Rather weak and inconsistent plot.


    Despite its many flaws, the movie is definitely worth watching as long as you don't care much about the story.
    And thanks for the stellar casting lol

    Bottomline
    Could have been better.

    What a piece of crap. Having a great ensemble cast doesn't help when the script is so ridiculous and full of plot holes.

    These elite police marksmen are the worst shots in the history of Hong Kong cinema.

    A pretty good action film that's worth watching for Sammo Hung. Otherwise lots of shooting and no one hitting anybody - even the snipers couldn't hit crap. Still worth a look though.
