Early Johnie To actioner.
Mozjoukine15 June 2009
Then TV director Johnie To's feature debut, a companion to the costume movie noir of the contemporary Hong Kong feature KILLER CONSTABLE, this one has a more realistic look and the action is quite convincing - less fantastic than the films made in front of it. In many ways it is a more interesting project that the director's later and more widely circulated work.

After a jail break opening, the plot does a U-turn providing a new villain to add to the impact.

Inventive pieces of staging like superior numbers driven back by the burning grass bundle on a fork run down the narrow alley.
