Lacks the excitement of other triad movies such as SPL but it's still a great movie with plenty of action. The final fight with Sammo Hung and Jing Wu whilst a tad short is rather good.

Jacky Wu was very cool in this one... brutal movie but fairly average otherwise.

There is a first time for everything. This is the first time I've ever turned off a movie without finishing it. It was that bad. Here is my rant.

This movie is just one big celluoid time waste trap. It looks nice, promising a gritty triad drama with some action and stars, such as Simon Yam, Sammo Hung, and Jing Wu.
.
Its starts out with a nice party with the villains, who are the triads and main protagonists. They laugh at the cops are seem to be fine. Then the plot goes to absolute HELL.
.
The writing sucks, the direction fine, and the editor needed a few smacks. He left in too many scenes, making this a 2 hour film. It could have been cut down a lot more, because most of the scenes were talking and going from point A to point B.
.
And the action sucked. They had a low budget and CGI'd the blood, making it look like a video game. It was too over the top, especially the enforcer who kills people with a fold in blade and licks the blood of his victims.
.
I almost got to 2/3'rds of the movie and turned it off. The pacing was terrible. The story was misjointed and boring.
.
I'm sorry I wasted an hour a 15 minutes on this failure.
.
I skipped ahead to the ending fight, which was actually one of the best fights I've seen in a while. Its better to look for it on youtube than endure an hour and 40 minutes to this fight scene. its got Sammo Hung with a long metal pipe vs Jing Wu with a samurai sword.
.
Real shame. Avoid movie, watch end fight scene.
