Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.

Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

bob the moo With a crime spree occurring across Hong Kong, and all the crimes traced to the work of one major crime syndicate, the police look to focus their resources. Having recently proved how tough and resourceful she is, Officer Hua Yang is sent to help a couple of detectives. It becomes immediately evident that the group is a lot more organised than they expected but Hua shakes off her adviser role and takes direct action – but when she discovers that the leader of the group is none other than one Ah Fung, Hua's old boyfriend.On the basis of the wonderful Michelle Yeoh being in it, I decided to give this film a go to see if it was any good. From the very start I was amused to see how cheap it looked, although it may have aged a little bit as well. As with all these type of films, plot usually comes second to the action and here is no different. The story is not that well delivered and I found myself with too many characters to care about and too little logic in the plot. It did jump around a bit and it relied too heavily on the former relationship between Jessica and Ah – but it never bothered to really make us care about either of them as real people or get emotionally involved with them as was necessary if this method was to work. Sadly it didn't work and the film was quite unengaging for the most part.Of course with good action scenes this shouldn't matter too much, but it doesn't do anything that special on the action front. This is not to suggest it is no good, because the gun play and various fights are reasonably good, it is just that they don't really do anything special and they do lack a certain amount of style. The fights do feel like they were done on a budget and, like the rest of the film, they did lack imagination and effort. The cast didn't do anything that good but in fairness my version was badly dubbed so it is hard to tell. Yeoh is a great actress who I have seen been playful, exciting, sensitive and tragic in many films but here she has nothing to do although one or two of her fight scenes hint at her ability. I never really got into the characters played by Sui-Wong, Yu and Chau as they didn't make much of an impression, although I thought that Wei was good. Bill Tung is there in a small role and does his usual stuff but were they really so desperate to attract an audience that they had to make Jackie Chan demean himself in an unfunny drag cameo?Overall this is an average film at best. The presence of one or two famous names suggests that it will be better than average but in reality it is all a bit workmanlike and lacking effort. The plot relies on the characters being developed and, when they're not, it means that it isn't very engaging as a story. The action is OK but nothing special and I never went 'wow' or anything like that. The script is average and the performances (dubbed or not) didn't really do anything to improve on the situation – Yeoh in particular was disappointingly bland for large sections.

mrfrane I love even goofy kung-fu movies, but this one was just boooooring. My 14-year-old son and I indulge ourselves in regular kung-fu fests and I made the mistake of including this one. Stupid plot, poorly strung together action scenes and about a million ridiculous plot holes. The few fight scenes were mostly just idiots with automatics, spraying ineffectual bullets everywhere. Very little interesting kung fu.The best scene in it was Jackie Chan's 5(?) minute scene in the middle, a scene that had no point in the overall "plot".Save your money, and spend it on a Jet Li movie.

iaido Pretty bad. Apparently the makers of Supercop 2 (aka.Police Story 3) failed to remember the formula to a good action flick- constant action. The action here is far too brief and sporadic, at best, and there are a minimum of hair raising stunts. Instead, the movie gets mired down into too much plot and the stunts become negligible next to the boredom the film induces. One does not watch a Hong Kong action flick for the dramatic acting (which, by the way, Yeoh is remarkably stiff and in need of a cattle prod to wake her up). A far better Michelle Yeoh cop/gunplay and kung fu film is Royal Warriors, or just stick with Supercop (in HK- Police Story 2).The plot has Michelle and Rong Guang Yu (Iron Monkey, himself) as would be lovers set at odds by his turn to crime and, more likely, the fact that he gives her what appears to be a white, hospital, lab coat as a present. Anyway, they separate, and six months later she goes to the mainland where he is now, unknown to her, heading a paramilitary gang of thieves. It is all rather lackluster in plotting. Lovers on opposite sides of the law, some gun battles here and there, and two subplots involving a cop with a crush on her and a vengeful gang member, go nowhere. YAWN, YAWN. Jackie Chan appears midway through, obviously, pointlessly glued in for a brief star factor cameo. It is seriously screwed up, Jackie trying to be funny in complete drag, and ends up being hard to witness without wincing in pain at how horrible the whole thing is.They try to add some thrills here and there. Some wirework, but only when people are jumping down from great heights?, not in any fights. In one escape scene the criminals base jump(parachute) off the roof of a building, and, in another, they scale down the back of their hideout (if I had a hideout, I would think of something a little more convenient then having to go up to the roof and then slide down the back with ropes every time I had to escape. I dont know...maybe, a BACK DOOR?!!?). Stupid instead of exciting.The Dimension video dubbing is pretty awful. Yeoh dubs herself, and while her English is great (after all, she was educated in Britain), her natural voice is so deliberate, slow, and seemingly self conscious, that it is flat and annoying. The dubbing company should be strung up for the way they dub some of the characters, particularly Jackie Chan in his brief, weird cameo. They use downright stereotypical Asian accents. The Jackie dubber has him saying, "Freeze Po-Reez!"(Freeze, Police)and "I so sa-lee."(I'm so sorry) It is just insulting.Of note: I found myself bored enough, that I began noticing little details to entertain myself. One of witch was the fact that Michelle shows her European education by turning the pages of a Chinese magazine the wrong way (in China one reads right to left, but she flips through the pages the English way, reading left to right).

Dr.Smooth Crediting Jacky in this film at all was probably just a PR stunt. He's only in one scene, and that looks as though it was pulled from another film. To top it all off, he's in drag (personally, I liked the Chun Li Jacky from City Hunter better...). That being said, if you didn't know that when you rented the film, you probably haven't seen the poster. This is a typical Michelle Yeoh film: great Kung Fu/acrobatics/stunts, high melodrama, and a plot that falls apart in the last 20 minutes of the piece.
