Don't treat it as a cop movie
27 July 2003
Some people get it, some people don't. This movie is about the unexpected side of life. In this movie, from beginning to ending, everything are unexpected and every plans failed, there are humour and tragedy in these coincidence, it tells you life is fragile. The style of the gunfights are masterful, comparable to John Woo and Luc Besson. The plot is ambitious as it tries to capture the more realistic side of policing, I think it is quite successful from beginning to end. Moreover, it is not heavyhanded, it just tells you that bright things and bad things happen in life, hence it is not too pessimistic.

Finally, I just want to say, don't treat it like a conventional cop movie, otherwise all the comedy and romantic courting would be pointless, it is in fact a movie about life.

Great hidden gem.
