Reviewed by: hkcinema Date: 12/08/1999 The first half of this below standard action movie involves a lengthySpecial Forces training sequence that is played for laughs but is burdened with too many unfunny jokes. The badly written script relies heavily on the charm of the two stars, Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu Wai, who unfortunately come across as merely cutesy. We're half way through the movie and, Hello!, there's a plot. Stop me if you've heard this one before: cute, young undercover good guy woos the innocent sister of a Triad big brother in order to bring him down. BUT - cutie-pie cop falls for sweetie-pie sis and - Oh, you have heard this one before. This movie is enjoyable if you don't mind predictable, or if you're a die hard Andy and/or Tony fan and enjoy seeing them act together. They have good chemistry and it's too bad the script served them so poorly. [Reviewed by Lori Saltis]
