Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

mlaeeqhassan This movie was my first encounter with any Hong Kong film. I watched this movie back in 1999 (on a VCR cassette).The story line is like many other holly wood movies produced at that time: "A patriotic cop in a difficult and life saving situation". Action is sloppy sometimes but the martial arts is quite good.Acting of lead cast both hero and villain is convincing (except the female lead because her performance was over-loud and not up to the standards).Dubbing could have been more better. Over all 6/10.If you can bear the 90's action, it is a good movie to watch.

gridoon ....and a goofy, half-baked plot it is. When you set your movie in a fictional country named Lavernia (?) and expect people to take it seriously, you've definitely started off on the wrong foot. But when the film is not slowed down by its story, it does have some very good action scenes. It is mainly a showcase for Chiu Man Cheuk, who has a likable screen presence and is a graceful, impressive fighter; although he's not quite "the next Jet Li", why he never became a bigger star in the field is a minor mystery. The fight choreography is brutal and efficient, and the main villain (Andrew Lin) is impressive in his own right, but the final showdown goes too over-the-top for my tastes. The beautiful Shu Qi is mostly wasted, but she does have a great scene where she fiercely stabs a man to death. (**1/2)

chowdr This movie is just so brilliant. I have no idea how they created such an extraordinary action sequence. There's intense gun fighting, and my favorite..... Kung fu fighting. Qi Shu was just so superb doing this film.The story was a little bit hard for me to understand because there was some things that they talked about that I didn't get, but you'll probably understand later on in the ending.That Qi Shu is so cool, that he should be like the next Jet Li. I really enjoyed this movie, and I hope that I can get it. I recommend this movie to anyone who loves action.

Philleh soon as this film ends you will want to watch it again and again and pray for it not to end. This is action in hyper gear folks enjoy the 90 minutes of bliss now!! :) As for the story, what there is of it :) it centres around Chiu Man chuek (who is awesome i will add :)) as a detective send to some place called 'Lavernia' after a botch mission,and once there doesn't stay out of trouble for long. as we meet Mishima. Then the film is just non stop action!! that every body will love! buy it or rent this film now!!
