GUNMEN is a somewhat muddled mix of cop drama and gangster thriller, suffering greatly from a muddled storyline and choppy direction which robs the movie of its senses at times. You're there watching a straightforward movie when suddenly the director presses the fast forward button and skips forward so quickly that it takes time for the viewer to catch up. It's a pity, because otherwise this is a truly action-packed movie with well-shot mayhem throughout, featuring explosions, burning bad guys, endless shoot-outs, chases, you name it. Tony Leung bags the role of conflicted hero and is well supported by other stars like Elvis Tsui and Waise Lee, but given their pedigree and the quality of the action this should have been a lot better.
