Story:
The customs department of the Hong Kong police discover
that there is large shipment of heroin going through
Hong Kong. Attempting to make a bust they find out that
the criminals are heavily armed professionals. SDU is
called in to assist customs in battling these powerful
criminals. These two very different teams must learn
to work together if they are to stop the criminals and
find the heroin.
Review: This movie has almost no relation
to the Final Option, even tho two actors play in both
films in very similar parts. It's the same type of
the movie with the SDU team, its as if it was another
story about SDU. The story is not very special, it
can be compared to an American B movie. So do not
expect an interesting story, its basically the good
guys going after the bad guy and nothing more.
In this movie Michael Wong plays the same role of
a commander of the SDU, the character is identical
except for the name. He is also assisted by the same
actor who was second in command. There is not much
we can say about the characters, there is no background
for any characters. We find this is lacking from the
movie, it is easily comparable to an American movie
of the same type.
When there was no talking there was plenty of action,
the scenes were elaborate and big. Since the scenes
were big and filled with action it was easy to get
confused, there were many times were we had to ask
ourselves who was who. There is one battle found in
the jungle and everyone is in camouflage and you not
too sure which side there are on. Other than that
the action scenes were good.
The subtitles were very good in this film, we had
no problem understanding any of it. Also much of the
dialog is in English which helps as well. After seeing
the Final Option we had high expectation for this
film as it is a very similar movie. Unfortunately
we found that it was not as good as we have hoped
it to be. If you are looking for a simple movie where
people just shoot each other this is good for that,
as it is not a complex story. Oh yes before we forget
there is a Star Wars reference at the end of the movie,
I am sure you will find it funny and very cheesy.
The dark side is everywhere...
