Overview
Champion competitive marksman Ken comes across an armored van robbery. He sees a policeman held hostage and shoots and kills four of the robbers. One of the robbers escapes and the policeman survives. The case is handled by Jerry Chang, whom Ken knows from having recently beaten him in a shooting match. Ken is found not guilty in court. Soon after, Ken is attacked by the escaped robber Pang Tao. Their confrontation reveals a very different background story and brings about a myriad of lies and traps and changes in relationships as Jerry and Ken try to outsmart each other.

Viewing Notes
Giving this a somewhat reluctant 6.5/10 mainly because Louis Koo and Daniel Wu are a fun duo to watch even in a so-so story. Throw in Charlene Choi and Bingbing Li to make this an even more watchable so-so movie. That’s too bad because I really like all these actors just wish this was a tighter flick.
The story has a few issues which are hard to overlook. The obvious being the intense effort at misdirecting the audience into thinking one thing when it’s clear what’s really going on. The movie is overly long for the story which doesn’t help. It probably would have been more interesting to concede the culprits in the beginning and make a real cat and mouse game between Wu and Koo.
Still a decent watch despite the melodrama. And I’ll watch anything with those guys.
