Nonetheless, before he can spend his retirement with his family, he needs a successor, who he believes to have found in his loyal right hand Nick (Daniel Wu). Nick is already in the business for several years and most importantly is smarter than any of the rest of Kwan's gang. Still, what the drug lord doesn't know is that Nick is actually an undercover cop, who tries for years already to get some clues about the masterminds behind the drug cartel. Until now, Kwan has been exceptionally careful and so every hand knows only what it has to know about the other. However, as Nick is becoming Kwan's successor he finally is introduced to the mechanisms and secrets of the business. At the same time Nick also has to see with his own eyes what impact drugs can have on an individual. He tries to help his drug-addicted neighbor Jane (Zhang Jingchu), a young mother, and her little daughter to cope with life, yet Nick now has to focus on Kwan as the game enters the final stage. Still, will Nick actually be able to put his long-time friend Kwan behind bars when he has to?

  A pretty good movie about cops and drugs... Even it's not as good as Infernal Affairs, but it just do well... The cast were amazing... Daniel Wu, Andy Lau, Louis Koo, Anita Yuen, and Zhang Jingchu, they're all played amazingly... Especially Andy Lau, he's get better and better... Daniel Wu was good for the leading man of this movie, but I thought he can do a lot better... And the ending, well I predicted it before so it's no a real surprise but nice try anyway... Maybe if the story is rework, then this movie will become excellent story...

  I watched this movie because I am a huge fan of Andy Lau. I wasn't disappointed. Sure, it might be more of the same gangster stuff to some, but the interactions between Lau and Wu and Wu and Zhang were enough, not to mention the great atmosphere created around this film. Definitely a worthy watch. If you like asian gangster movies, watch this one.

  Why did I wait so long to finally see this! I mean yes it does remind you of Yee's previous One Nite in Mongkok as well as Infernal Affairs but wow, this was a powerful movie. I loved the acting and the cinematography, great stuff there. The overall message that drugs are bad comes through loud and clear though, Jingchu Zhang did a great job playing the addict. I don't know what else to say other than don't miss this movie if you love HK films. The scenes were powerful and real - almost too real - which draws you into the underground world of drug trafficking with Andy Lau giving a great performance as our guide.
