Besides acting, the Hong Kong star, Danny Lee (You probably saw him in: John Woo's The Killer and some CAT III films such as Love to Kill and The Untold Story) was also a producer, through his company, Magnum films (named after Harry Callahan's favorite gun), he produced many action and horror films (some of them include: Organized Crime & Triad Bureau and Untold Story II), besides producing theater films, he also produced some direct-to-video movies and this is one of them.
The film is about a killer (played by Ben Ng, well know for playing the villain in the CAT III shocker Red To Kill) that is wiping out a notorious crime family and a police detective (played by Frankie Lam) is determined to find him. If you are familiar with Danny Lee, you know that he always portrays the work of the police force (and because of this, Lee received praises from police organizations) and this movie is no exception.
The action scenes are passable (which is mostly gunplay, but there's some fighting) and we also get to see some bits of bloody violence, also, there's a lot of stolen music in this film, i recognized musics from: Total Recall, Judge Dredd and one of the Predator movies (and the film was rated CAT III because of a brief sex scene, which it features a music from one of the Predator movies...sticks out like a sore thumb!).
The acting is also okay, Ben Ng gives a good performance in this film.
The English subtitles are full of funny errors, i can't remember much, but i remember a hilarious error where they wrote "what's the watter?" instead of "what's the matter?"
This film is also shot on video and the video quality makes you feel that you are watching an old made for TV feature.
I expected worse from this film, besides a few moments that made no sense at all, the film is entertaining.
I'm looking for others direct-to-video films produced by Magnum Films, but unfortunately, i heard that only a few of them are subtitled in English.
