A container ship appears in Hong Kong waters and customs officers board to inspect it. The team, which includes hotshot Chow Ching-lai (Nicholas Tse) soon discovers the crew dead and a huge cache of weapons, including an extremely valuable compass suitable for piloting a submarine. The customs officers don't know it yet, but an international incident is about to blow up.

“Customs Frontline” is not quite as thrilling or as relentless as Yau’s other recent successes ... but it still delivers more twists and surprises than you might expect from this type of sudsy, formulaic cop drama.

Rated: 2.5/4

Culture Mix

Awkward acting, a poorly written screenplay, and an overcrowded cast make Customs Frontline a dud. This story about customs officials versus criminal smugglers tries to do too much but ends up with very little meaning. All the action scenes look fake.

Whatever this noisy, clunky dog cost, I hope getting that People's Republican "We're above it all and we're your FRIENDS" message out was worth it.

Rated: 1.5/4

It looks and moves every bit like a project that was rushed into production so the producers didn’t lose their cast to other, potentially better jobs.

Rated: 4/10

[I]t's easy to start suspecting that the plot and characters are simply excuses for the filmmakers to stage ... [the action] sequences.
