Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

ebiros2 This is a movie produced and directed by Benny Chan. His style is evident in the car scenes, and violent action.Japanese gangs lead by Akatora (Tooru Nakamura) have stolen cargo load of explosives from Hong Kong's dangerous material depot. He's also killed off his Hong Kong gang boss. Inspector Chan (Eric Tsai) is eager to take on the case. He recruits some new talent - a group of four cadets that had discipline problems. The rag tag team becomes Hong Kong police department's weapons against the Akatora and the gang.Although the movie was acceptable in quality, some aspects of it was unpalatable. The guys in authority in this movie were all a%$ holes. All they did were yell and act belligerent to people below them. So were the gen x cop guys. They were obnoxious bunch, that lacked quality in many ways. I just couldn't see how they could be considered cops. Chan's colleagues were all of similar caliber bunch also. So the effort to make this movie gritty back fired in my opinion.I've seen other Benny Chan's movies. Some I liked, and others were too violent. He can create some exciting visual scenes, but I'm starting to feel that that's all he's good at. This movie has good visuals, but tasteless in other aspects.

scarletxrain This movie was a great movie! I remember being about 10 when I saw this because Jackie Chan had a small cameo in it. Well I absolutely fell in love with the actors and their slap stick comedy.This movie is about three young cops who have been sent on a mission from a made fun of cop who just cant get a brake. So The three young cops end up in the middle of this war among gang leaders. A bunch of fight scenes and fire fights later you have 3 guys sitting in a boat after jumping out of a building. All of the young guys are super hot and very good at acting! this movie has been a favorite of mine for a long time and always will...I give it 9 stars out of 10!

jade_darkside The one line summary says it all. They are young. They are cool. They kick ass. They are pretty boys (cops) with big guns (no pun intended). Add an uberly uber sexy Toru Nakamura as the vengeful Yakuza boss, and what you'll get is a Gift from Heaven TM for all slash fangirls. Who cares about the plot? (Which actually is quite interesting). Ahem. I'll be serious now. When top secret bomb material is stolen by an aspiring and vengeful Yakuza boss (masterfully played by the wonderful Toru Nakamura), a detective considered by his colleagues to be a clown, decides to hunt down the villain. To infiltrate the criminal organisation, he finds a trio of kicked-from-the-academy former cadets and sends them under cover. The "icredible trio" unravels the mystery and at the and has a big KABOOM fight with Yakuza boss. Simple premise, isn't it? Anyway, if you don't want to be mentally challenged and are looking for good time (pretty boys), some mindless shooting and fighting, nice special effects, that's the movie for you. 7/10

Puppetmister This was OK, it just never quite ignited. Some great stunts and an appealing cast, although Grace Yip is wasted. This is kind of an antidote to the 'Young and Dangerous' series, which saw disenchanted youngsters becoming glamourised gangsters. In this, they become cops. John Woo pulled a similar trick by making his heroes cops in Hard Boiled, to make up for the romanticised criminals in his 'Better Tomorrow' series. Overall, this is pretty typical of current Hong Kong cinema, moving closer towards a spectacular Hollywood style and distanced from the kitsch cheapness of the late-80s golden-age. That's the era that has drawn a lot of attention from Western fans, but the HK industry is really struggling, and has tried to capitalise on the foreign markets by compromising its quirkiness. Oh, well, it was fun while it lasted.
