Viewing Notes

Enjoyed this more as I expected I would. Having Donnie and Andy fighting each other goes a long way to making this entertaining. Throw in Jing Tian and Collin Chou makes it even better. Is it copaganda? Sure but most of these post handover flicks are… none of that Johnnie To romanticizing the crime life business.

Anyways that car chase and final fight bump up the rating. Excellent makeup work, too; they both really look beat up.
