Summary: Fantastic HK action
Review: The basic premise is about a dockworker who is thought to have gained some secret microfilm from corrupt CIA agents. In a Hitchcockian twist, the dockworker is completely innocent, but no one, not the bad CIA or the Hong Kong Cops believe him. It is up to Donnie Yen and Cynthia to protect him as the renegade agents appear around every corner thanks to Donnie Yen's turncoat/backstabbing parter played by Michael Wong.The action (thanks to the great Yuen Woo Ping) is typical of the series, inventive and brutal, but what sets this one apart is the sheer number of action scenes. Here is a rough tally- in the first 15 mins there are three kung fu fights and a shoot-out, by the 30 min mark add four more kung fu fights and an interrogation room beating, in the next thirty mins (1 hr mark) add three more kung fu fights and include some torture, yet another interrogation room beating, and a car bomb, and finally, in the last thirty mins add four more fights, including the big finale, and another shoot-out. Cynthia's main moments are in a great fight on a moving ambulance in witch she is shoved though the window, her head dangling above the pavement, fighting on top of it, hanging off the front grill, and another fight with a fugly gwailo woman in a warehouse that involves some precarious scaffolding and elevator shaft fu. Donnie, however, has a the majority of the good fights, like a motorcycle chase and joust, as well as his fantastic final fight with a beefcake Ike Turner lookalike. If you are looking for action every three minutes, look no further. The DVD is fair by Hong Kong standards. The picture is a little worn and there is some lack of clarity and spotting in certain scenes, but not enough to heavily distract most people form this entertaining film. It has its fair share of subtitle mistakes ("Dare you bent me. You must call for death.") It includes star bios of Cynthia, Woo Ping, and Donnie, where we are informed that "It is believed that Donnie is now working with might and main to open up his future." It also has trailers for the film and In the line of Duty 3&5, and Yes, Madam!.

Summary: 5 stars for the full version
Review: This film is a showcase for both the physical ability of Donnie Yen and the choreography of Yuen woo ping. The fights here are the among the best ever committed to celluloid and if you get the full uncut print have a timeless classic. This DVD is the best version all round as it features a good quality picture and sound transfer, and as complete as America will ever make it.

Summary: Possibly the best action movie ever
Review: This movie is up there with Enter the Dragon as contender for best action movie ever made. Donnie Yen is at his coolest as the US cop who will stop at nothing to catch the suspect. The fights are great and are the stunt sequences. The best bit being Cynthia Khan hanging of the front of a ambulance at high speed.
