This film is fantastic. Probably one of my favourite films. EVER! The performances are fantastic. The action is amazing. And for a change the story is great also. The opening is suspencefull with Jackie undercover, then cover is blown. Here we see action realism when a officer pisses his pants after killing a criminal. Soon Jackie is driving threw a shanti town, literally. Then he is on the back of a speeding bus held on by an umberella.

We soon meet May (played by the always great Maggie Cheung). Jackies girlfriend in the movie. She is mad at Jackie because she thinks he`s having an affair with Bridgette Lins chareter who is just an important witness Jackie needs too protect from some triads.

Bill Tung makes his first apperance as Uncle Bill who is slightly more serious here than he is in the sequels.

And you probably already know about the final mall showdown featuring ahell of alot of glass.But look out for my personel favourite scene. The novel way of parking a car.

The films only downfall is the pacing in the middle of the film. Still this is a fantastic film. I will not speak anymore about it go out and watch it now.

PS great theme tune too.
