Detective Manfred (Leon Lai) is stubborn. He never let a case through unsolved. Dedication of this work made him known as the police net, but at the same time the dedication of these things that made him get involved in complicated involving many people in high places.At first only because Manfred would not give up investigating the murder of a prostitute. At the scene apparently found traces of DNA of one of his police officers and make this police became the prime suspect in his murder case. Manfred thinks this is too easy and try to dig deeper.
Without being asked, Kee (Richie Ren) who actually served in the narcotics offer assistance. The desire to help which was not logical anymore this time to make Manfred suspicious but he had no evidence to support suspicions of this. Manfred realizes that she can no longer rely on anyone because in situations like these friends and foes are something that can not be clearly seen.
Without his knowledge, the cases he investigated it turned out to involve many people in the upper class. When Manfred successfully conclude this case the good name of Hong Kong police will be tarnished. Can Manfred resolve this case?
Good cop, bad cop is one of the topics most frequently used in Hong Kong films. This time again we were treated to the work of director Dante Lam who took this topic. Not just taking the same topic with the previous films, but this movie can say is follow the pattern of generic movie with a theme like this. There is no mystery. No questions were mounting and make the audience wait until the end of the movie. Everything is almost palpable depicted since the beginning of the film.
Nothing wrong was because this movie was made not to burden the audience with a bunch of question marks. Dante Lam would like to invite the audience to have fun. The trick? Regale shooting, explosions, dang each blow. Again this is not an error because the action movie is about action and the story line was not too important.
About acting, no one is too prominent. Duo Leon Lai and Richie Ren plays quite sufficient even though it seems it's not their fault entirely. Looks like the script did not allow them to do much. The proof of the two main characters are apparently not dealt with cooked so it is more memorable as the characters are two dimensional that suddenly appear and then disappear again.
Cracks logic is also quite a lot and it became evidence that actual storyline was not too important. He just there to assemble a number of dramatic scene that is already there in the mind of the director.
