      Audience Member Your fellow police officers are robbing criminals to pay for an insured policeman's medical bills and instead of helping them, you try to stop them. Even going so far as to drive recklessly and shoot out a window. What the hell, Wu? In the three years since Option Zero, Lam has improved markedly. Dropping romantic B-stories and upping the shootout quality helps a lot. A HK police shoot'em up about duty, friendship and what the "right" thing to do is. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review dave j Monday, June 4, 2012 (2000) Hit Team (In Chinese with English subtitles) ACTION/ SOCIAL COMMENTARY Hit Team is a small Chinese tactical police unit that's assigned to take on specific duties such as gun smuggling similar to narcs doing drug busts etc... Anyways during an undercover stand off one of it's members from another group gets himself fatally injured while going undercover, and slipping through the cracks to get Police compensation since he was accused of working alongside the gun smugglers instead of working alongside the law because he wasn't following instructions or following proper protocal. While injured his other 'hit team' unit even tried to argue on his behalf but with no avail, but at the same time another hitteam is intervening on some gun smuggling and accidently gets himself caught in a dilemma. What's great about this film is that it takes out all the sappy stuff and gets to the point rather than drag it's viewers with pointless nonsense which always involve a love interest for the protagonist etc... Very straight up but wish their was more gun battles than the few that is shown. 3 out of 4 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member With Hit Team from 2001, Dante Lam revisits old themes from his 1997 directorial debut Option Zero, but with much better result by playing down the romance and overbearing melodrama that heavily weighed down the latter. This time, Lam helms the action set pieces himself, and carefully integrates them into the drama, fuelled by a particularily strong character driven plot, heralding the directors knack for detail and characterization in his more recent works. Cast is mostly excellent, utilizing the seldom seen talents of Alex To and the criminally underrated Tony Ho. Only the, at the time, rather fresh-faced Daniel Wu givea a weak impression as seasoned Hit team leader. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member there are some nice moments and ballistics action. but it's mostly disengaging due to the weak to "guy off the street" performances lol and the side characters are lemmings instead of unique individuals. thus, improvement needed. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A typical Hong Kong action flick: Action always comes over Story. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Some good gun battle scenes Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
