Awesome Asian action/suspense flick. I'd give it a 9/10 as far as Asian action movies go. You won't find this movie at your video store, but you can visit a movie shop in your local Chinatown and grab it there; that's where I got this copy. You have to read the sub-titles, but that's the best way to see a Chinese movie so that you can catch the jokes that and subtle meanings that get lost in voice dub-in. OK, so this is a police movie, but it is full of twists. The fighting is so realistic and the make-up is superb. The hero of the show, Fit, really appears to be getting the s&*t beat out of him. I'll give you the basic outline of what happens in this movie, because the other poster's summary is confusing. The story revolves around two buddies named Kit and Fit. They are young cops and have are in a team of about 4 or 5 other cops. Kit's mother tells him that Kit's father shot her with his revolver when Kit was a child. Kit father disappears and Kit hates his father. Kit's father is a police sergeant and takes on Kit, Fit, and their buddies as his undercover team. To make the story short, the police team are trying to bust the biggest drug lord in Hong Kong. Fit gets set up by the drug lord and has to work for the drug lord and gets fired by the police. (sounds cheesy, but I'm summarizing the story) Kit joins the Internal Investigations division of the police because he falls in love with a girl who works there. Kit has to follow and investigate his buddy, Fit. I won't bother to explain the story any further, but as you can imagine, there's lots of shooting, death, kung-fu, etcetera. There's a couple of sub-plots running through the show too. The cinematography is well done and the acting is of much higher quality than the average Chinese show. It doesn't have the usual overacting like Bruce Lee's villains or Jet Li's villains. If you can find this show, please rent it/ buy it.
