After watching "The Fatalist" (another direct to video release from Magnum films, which is the company founded by Danny Lee), i was curious to watch this one, Danny Lee (playing a police inspector) acts in this film, another familiar face is Eric Kei (the guy who played "Robert" in the CAT III classic The Untold Story).
Just like all these Hong Kong direct to video films, this one is shot on video too. The first problem that i encountered was the lack of subtitles (and as far as i know, only a few Magnum releases had subtitles), but i think i understood (most of) the plot. The audience also takes a look at the police procedures (something very common in Danny Lee's movies).
The film got a CAT III rating because of the violence and gore, the gore effects are nicely done and the action scenes aren't cheap as expected (i have seen much worse), but i still wish for a subtitled version.
