It's pleasing to see that Hong Kong Legends has not skimped on its presentation of the film on this Region 2 DVD.
Conceived of as an obvious cash in on the "heroic bloodshed" genre... this gangster drama ...lacks the special something needed to elevate it out of the pack.
Great non-stop action with two peformances Chow Yun-Fat and Alan Tong combine with Joe Cheung's skillful direction to deliver a powerful but tragic gangland thriller with the brutal realism of Scarface.
