05/10/2013 Fans of Gordon Chan, Mike Wong and SDU should like it. Guns, explosions, a twist, it's decent action cinema. See more 02/19/2011 An altogether dull and forgettable 'action" film. See more 04/19/2009 Some nicely done gun scenes (rumours w/ helps from real SDU members). Story is so lacking, through. See more 01/04/2009 This was pretty fun actually - what the much more higher budget SWAT shoudl have been. See more 02/15/2008 Just like the SAS-inspired film is sort of paid homage, uh, I mean ripped off from(!), Hong Kong-style... See more 02/13/2008 An under-rated movie. Michael Wong demonstrated he is the best one to act as a policeman, especially a SDU, in this movie. See more Read all reviews
