an action comedy film laced with a bit of romance, and humorous dialogues and non-verbal actions. the story tells of a cop who experiences a challenging period in his life and career. this film is suitable for late teen age group to above as there are drugs, violence and murder scenes. this film feels through and through like a Hong Kong production. there are a few parody of older movies present in this film, but because the screen time on these segments are very short, some audience might miss them.

for me, there are five highlights to the film, i) the stunt choreographies; ii) the quality of stunt works perform by the stunt folks; iii) Donnie Yen performing a mix bag of comedy, drama/romance, and action; iv) Teresa Mo's performance; and, v) the stark evidence of Hong Kong style production.

it is a delight for me to watch Yen performs a comedy role, and it is even more of a delight to see Teresa Mo. the last time i watch Mo in a film/series was 15+ years ago. i didn't realize she is still active in the entertainment industry until this film and until i checked Wikipedia.

although, i feel that the quality of entertainment in different segments of the film vary, overall, it is still an entertaining piece.
