Officers Nam Kong and Lui Lok rise through the ranks and manage to gain control of criminal organizations. However, the power struggle between the duo poses a threat to their empire of corruption.

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

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.

Rated: 2/5

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

It’s harrowing material and effectively absolves our subjects of subsequent transgressions. In short, it creates sympathy for the devils.

Rated: 3/5

Guardian

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.

Rated: 3/5

We’ve seen this film before – don’t expect this to wow you in any other way than its 2-star smart tailoring.

Rated: 2/5

Edward Porter

Sunday Times (UK)

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.

Rated: 2/5
