Top cops team up in a deadly battle with a drug-dealing maniac out on a rampage.
Viewer Reviews This film has a decent enough premise of a hot-headed Hong Kong cop (Ti Lung) being persued by the drug lord he sent up for 10 years. Added into the mix is the cop's mediator buddy (Chow Yun-Fat) whose trying to broker a peace between the two while simultaneously romancing the drug lord's girlfriend. What this film lacks is a certain pizazz. There's a certain workmanlike quality to the direction of the film, competent but nothing special. The action scenes even have a humdrum quality to them. You find yourself imagining what if John Woo had directed this film. Or would he have passed on the material? Nevertheless, the two leads give excellent performances which elevate the film from the merely mundane.
