They did what I'd thought impossible. So many bullets fired and stuff blowed up with an array of grenades and bombs that I actually grew bored when I should have been excited. The producers used up enough of an f/x budget for three of these movies, reducing the story to rubble as severely as to the buildings, streets and vehicles on the receiving end of the demolition crew's excesses. I expect more classiness and coherence from any film starring Andy Lau, making this even more disappointing. It devolved into the sort of direct-to-video fodder cranked out in low-overhead countries with a cast of deservedly unknown players.
