      Audience Member Overall average when the line is difficult to distinguish. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring crime drama about the hardships that undercover cops face. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member good stylish crime drama Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member deconstructs harry-boy's re-integration back into the poli- ce force. narration alternating between present and flas- hbacks etc. was seamless. nick cheung, wong and ng are in top form. so effective you sympathize for the bad guys. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie is between the memory of Nick when he was an undercover in the gang and after he caught the head of the gang. The conflict is well said. Everything is quite memorable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A rather low key crime drama, but effectively done. Co-stars HK heavyweights Anthony Wong and Francis Ng, The central problem is the lead actor, Nick Cheung, does not have the gravitas to propel this film to a higher level; its adequate but under the direction of a Johnny To, this movie could/would have been better. It is an interesting take on the triad mole returning back to normal life, and whereas Infernal Affairs merely touched on this theme, it is expolored with more depth in this film...for that alone its worth a watch!
