In his day, Teddy (Anthony Wong) was a force to be reckoned with, but these days most of the aging chiropractor's energies are spent looking after his rebellious son Nicky (Stephen Fung) and his thrill-seeking daughter Natalie (Gillian Chung). Despite the fact that the young pair cringe when their father begins waxing nostalgic about the good old days, what they don't realize is that their father is still fighting the good fight by doing his best to protect other retired agents. When their father is kidnapped by a vengeful nemesis looking to settle a score from the past, Nicky and Natalie jump into action with Natalie's butt-kicking boyfriend Jason (Daniel Wu) to take on the bad guys and ensure that their father has a safe and happy homecoming. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
The story is sheer fluff, but the spirited martial-arts brawl between Siu Bo's kids ... for control of the TV remote has a kind of loopy genius.

Andrew Sun, Hollywood Reporter
The domestic angle is interesting, but the overall story is nonsensical.
