MCT:August 20, 2008Strange really strange. Beautifully but don't ever try to really understand what is going on. I wouldn't recommand it but if one night you want to submerge yourself is the wet atmosphere of Honk Kong by night and experience senseless violence... that's your movie.

moody and dark (literally)..very simple story executed well..same usual suspects you find in other To movies, acting first rate and will hold your interest..the movie seems to slow down in spots but definitely worth a watch

MCT:March 22, 2008Johnny To has already established himself as one of the better directors to come out of Hong Kong in recent years and he's on fine form with this stylish crime thriller which touches on themes of honour, loyalty and friendship as it progresses, almost fatalistically, towards a genuinely explosive climax.
PTU: Police Tactical Unit may be a little light on substance, but the style of the film more than makes up for this.

MCT:December 9, 2007very good directing, sure, but they could have made it interesting. this is the anti-traditional HK film: boring. guess that's why it's so revolutionary to the Chinese.

Leave it to Johnnie To to make something good out of what seemingly seems like nothing. He shows once again why he is one of my favorite directors.
The film plays out like any other Johnnie To Hong Kong crime drama. Slow paced, minimal dialogue, and little to no action. Sounds boring right? Well, those of you who have seen Johnnie To films should know that with his direction and writing, these films turn out much better than the cliched Hong Kong action films. The great cinematography and storytelling more than make up for the lack of action and dialogue.
The story is actually pretty slim at the beginning, but as the film moves on the story becomes a little more deep. There are times when the story may seem off-track, but the great ending is where everything unfolds and all the characters come together. The ending really is the high point of this film. This is where you get the only shootout and Johnnie To, once again, is able to create a piece of work out of it. Great stuff. Another nice thing about this film is that it all takes place in the matter of one nights time. So yes, it is a dark film, settings wise.
The usual Johnnie To cast of Simon Yam, Maggie Shiu, and Lam Suet are able to bring the good acting to this film. My only complaint is that Maggie Shiu's character should have gotten more airtime.
This isn't Johhnie To's greatest work, but like Tarantino films in America. This film is still much better than many other Hong Kong films out there. Give this a watch if you're a fan of the To.

When the sarge of the PTU (Police Tactical Unit) is attacked by a gang and has his gun stolen, he asks for help from his unit - who use less than friendly methods in locating the gun before it is used by the gang itself. However, when CID take over the investigation of the death of the gangs' leader, it all leads to a final showdown in the streets. A very good film, not filled with action but more plot-driven.

MCT:July 30, 2007Absolute rubbish, utter nonsense, an absolute waste of film and mankind's precious little time on earth.
