Viewing Notes

Somewhat interesting premise about an ex-cop gone mad as a vigilante (Louis Koo) but doesn’t really take the material far enough to make it compelling. Neat to see Grace Yip again in her second feature film (after Gen-X Cops, which I love and adore her). One thing about this film that is quite apparent to me is that you can see how this is a transition between the greasy lens of 90s action flicks and the brighter sheen of the 00s crime action. Very late 90s look here.
