Reviewed by: mrblue Date: 08/14/2009 Summary: Decent Donnie Yen plays a loose cannon Hong Kong cop sent to the Philippines to bring back a criminal. This film is extremely low budget, but there's a lot of action thrown into the mix to keep you entertained. This was one of Donnie's first attempts at action directing, and he overuses camera tricks, but overall the action is decent enough. Reviewer Score: 6

Reviewed by: Sydneyguy Date: 01/22/2006 Summary: Average A run of the mill cop movie which ends up predictable. The action is sped up and Donnie yen's characters has been done better from other actors. Does he always have to try to look cool in all his movies? Roy Cheung always plays the villians well. WAtchable movie if you got nothing better to do, i am not sure watching a english dubbed version of the movie would of changed my opinion if i saw the chinese version, but i doubt it Reviewer Score: 6

Reviewed by: redbean Date: 12/09/1999 Donnie is a dedicated loose cannon cop (imagine that!) who is sentto the Phillipines to escort an extradited criminal/witness. He is teamed up with a dedicated straightlaced Filipino cop. After Donnie runs into an old nemesis, the fun begins... There's some stylish editing and wipe effects, and the final fight sequence is really cool.

Reviewed by: leh Date: 12/09/1999 It's one of those "international thrillers" that HK makes to sell to the rest of the world - non-HK locations, some non-HK actors etc. D&B Films used to be the experts in this genre. That said, it's pretty fun in my opinion - totally no-brain entertainment, with some good action direction by Donnie Yen. The plot is terrible, of course, but what did you expect. Worth renting...

Reviewed by: hokazak Date: 12/09/1999 Pretty good Donnie Yen cop story in which Donnie goes to the Philippines in search of a bad guy (Roy Cheung Yiu Yeung) named "Dick" who had earlier killed his wife and injured him. Unfortunately this seems like the choreographers and stunt crew may have been Filipino or otherwise not from Hong Kong, because there is too much American style filming and choreography of the fight scenes - quickly cutting back and forth between the donor and recipient of a blow so that you can only see one of them at a time, etc.. In some ways, then, Donnie Yen's great wu shu abilities are wasted in this film - though it still beats out most American films for action and hand-to- hand combat. (It's ironic that Donnie did the action choreography in this film....) Not great by Hong Kong movie standards though. If you haven't already, check out one of Yuen Woo Ping's great cop-movie collaborations with Donnie Yen - like the incomparable "In The Line of Duty 4" or the enjoyable first to parts of the "Tiger Cage" trilogy. Or even "Crystal Hunt."
