Viewing Notes

It always takes a little adjustment to Hong Kong action/crime films, which tend to exaggerate things to divorce them from reality and to stress the moral underpinnings of the story.

It was interesting to see a younger Donnie Yen fighting it out with the legendary Sammo Hung in the finale. Lots of fun!
