I really enjoy this film thanks to the depth of the characters. Usually an action film will firmly become an action film with little room for character. The emotion of each character doesn't feel forced and the corruption is simply a means to an end. The direction is quite down played especially the well created score of the film. The film really divided audiences who expected an all out action film and what was delivered was an interesting police drama. The film is criminally underrated and is basically a drama dressed in an action front to sell more tickets. This doesn't work and its a common studio issue of selling a movie to the wrong audience. Mark wahlberg continues to impress me with some down played characters. He couldn't follow in he's co stars spot light because the film would feel odd. The film was good and well acted but the issues were the bursts of action and over acting. This film should of done a lot better but was left out to dry thanks to the studio. Don't give this film the cold shoulder

An explosive crime thriller. A gritty, stylish, gripping, unpredictable and unforgettable movie thrill-ride. Searing suspense and non-stop action fuel this outstanding and heart-pounding adrenaline-rush. An awesome movie. It's Serpico meets Hard-Boiled. Chow Yun-fat and Mark Wahlberg give powerful, emotionally complex and sensational performances. It's shocking, riveting and exhilarating all the way to it's devastating conclusion. This is James Foley's finest film. A full-throttle action-packed flick that delivers pure explosive energy

Insipid and forgettable attempt to imitate Hong Kong cime flicks.

Superb action-thriller about life as a cop in the violent and merciless underbelly of New York's Chinatown. Not up to the standard of Chow Yun-Fat HK films, but a creditable cop thriller.
