Audience Member Fans of Gordon Chan, Mike Wong and SDU should like it. Guns, explosions, a twist, it's decent action cinema. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member An altogether dull and forgettable 'action" film. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Some nicely done gun scenes (rumours w/ helps from real SDU members). Story is so lacking, through. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member This was pretty fun actually - what the much more higher budget SWAT shoudl have been. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Just like the SAS-inspired film is sort of paid homage, uh, I mean ripped off from(!), Hong Kong-style... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member An under-rated movie. Michael Wong demonstrated he is the best one to act as a policeman, especially a SDU, in this movie.
