Seven million dollars of laundered drug money is stolen from a powerful triad gang. Nobody has actually got the cash but Crazy Dragon, a hot-tempered ex-cop, and the beautiful divorce lawyer Mandy, find themselves neck-deep in big trouble. Pursued by gangsters set on retrieving their loot and the police, who suspect them of the theft and the brutal murders that followed, the mis-matched couple are trapped in a spiralling nightmare of deceit, double-crossing and ultra-violent mayhem which unfolds through a non-stop series of action sequences.
Donnie Yen and Rosamund Kwan make a great pair in this excellent HK actioner that has a plethora of fine action set-pieces - the bus scene in particular stands out with Donnie leaping from one bus to another. What you get is plenty of chase scenes, a plot that fires from cylinder, and melded into this strong dose of mayhem is some comedy, which is well done. The characters of Donnie Yen and cutie Rosamund are such a stark contrast, one an impulse and rude ex-cop and the other a whiny solicitor who isn't used to being chased and shot at. It's their pairing that I find quite entertaining. Cynthia Khan and Carol Cheng have small roles but they do well in their parts. Check out the finale - a sword fight between John Salvitti and Mr Yen, a showdown with Michael Woods and Robin Shou, all executed with skill and frenetic precision.
