02/12/2013 The year before Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, this won for best Action Choreography. Good direction, dated CGI and great performances. Fans of Daniel Wu, Teddy Chan and Stephen Tung Wai should be pleased. See more 04/17/2011 a riveting hk action experience about combating terrorism. the story and teddy chan's direction are thankful above b- movie and the action set pieces are very exciting! as well, one of daniel wu's earlier works with a solid old school cast. See more 11/12/2010 A bit different from typical HK films from the same genre; trying to make sense at the beginning. Quickly falling back to formulaic action genre from middle onwards however. Gan Kwok Leung is cool although its rather awkward seeing him acts. See more 07/03/2010 A decent action movie to spend time watching over weekends. The characters in the movie are make believeable. This movie was the first action movie that Daniel Wu has taken up and it's totally good. And I personally find the connections of the character in the movie so unique in a way. The action sequence was fast and interesting however the editing for the movie was poorly done. It seems some parts of the most interesting/informative movie was cut out. I would say it is one of the best action movie during it's times. See more 11/27/2008 I feel sorry for the character Daniel Wu plays. He begins as a criminal but an accident with his head happened during the mission and he got amnesia. The CIA decided to use this to their advantage, with a little hypnotism and false memories, he will lead CIA to his crime father. However he somehow was captured by his father and memories come back bit by bit until he is confused and lost. He thought he was doing good but somehow went bad after his son was killed in a bombing. Now he must help CIA stop his father from unleashing the Purple Storm that will cost thousands of lives. The ending is a fitting one and I'm happy to have seen it. See more 11/13/2008 Teddy Chans back catalogue doesn't impress much, but if Jackie Chan is your homeboy you get to direct movies anyway, see? The story is outrageous: Red Khmers with biological weapons, but there's also a certain Sturm und Drang-thing going on between Daniel Wu and Gan Kwok Leung that caught my interest. A mad waste of talent of course to cast character actor Joan Chen as rogue psychologist, but it also kinda makes me happy to see her slumming like this from time to time. Josie Ho, on the other hand, should definitely do more of these actionflicks. She got moves. See more Read all reviews
