Hong Kong's movie factories are ever churning out what amounts to an inordinate number of productions, a great many of which are blighted by puerile attempts at humour, manically cartoonish violence, and cardboard characters, bringing about a roll of a viewer's eyes as standard response to all of this; therefore, when a film furnishes some elements of creative value as in this instance, it becomes worth noticing. For what might easily serve as an exemplar of how an action film should be composed, Danny Lee fills a type of role for which he has often been cast within a Hong Kong cinema subgenre: The Conflicted Cop Film, here having to choose between his Job and his Family, the latter being a wife (Carol Cheng), and five-year-old son, with his occupation being captain of police, having supervision over a "special unit" composed of a sizable group of (invariably) undercover personnel deployed against those criminals engaged in the sale of narcotics and purloined designer watches, the officers therewith involved in a series of shootingfests.
