Ordered by the top leader, Tin taught Jizo a lesson by cutting off one of his fingers and expelled him from the gang. On the same night, policeman Fung (by Michael Miu)'s wife was killed in Jizo's nightclub during an operation. Meanwhile, Tin swore to change sides after his beloved girlfriend walked out of his life. 15 years later, the local drug market is now quadripartite.

User Reviews

6.3?????????

What a surprise to see a rating of 6.3!. I think it it should at least worth 8, plus 1 mark to the extremely smart Andy Lau with hair combing up.

2 marks is deducted for lack of character development for role of Lau. He seems does not have enough time to show his saddness to his son. And he is not seeing his ex in terminal illness. He too turns rich too quick.

For Koo, i appreciate his excellent acting as a vaillian. To me he acts better as a bad guy than good one.

Female lead is ok, with a special temperament that excels other more beautiful actress.

I would say, a very entertaining movie not to be missed
