Wendy Ide Observer (UK) 10/01/2023
2/5
Unfortunately, even the considerable star power of Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Aaron Kwok in the lead roles of rival cops can’t salvage this cluttered and frequently bewildering piece of storytelling. Go to Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) 09/29/2023
3/5
It’s harrowing material and effectively absolves our subjects of subsequent transgressions. In short, it creates sympathy for the devils. Go to Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian 09/26/2023
3/5
It’s all a bit over the top, round the other side and in over again, but worth seeing if only to stick one to the Chinese censors who tried to bury the film as it was ready for its premiere back in 2021. Go to Full Review Gloria Daniels-Moss HeyUGuys 10/06/2023

We’ve seen this film before – don’t expect this to wow you in any other way than its 2-star smart tailoring. Go to Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) 10/02/2023
2/5
Police corruption takes a stylish, well-tailored form in this Hong Kong film, but the suavity doesn’t make up for the drama’s hollowness. Go to Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse 07/16/2023
