Plot: Yim is an honest cop who values doing the right thing over following the orders of his superiors. He is able to free the hostages from a plane hijack, but he's still reprimanded and sent to Europe to cool off. There, he bumps into his old girlfriend, but that's not the only trouble he's getting himself into.

Hong Kong action fodder. Based on the style, I would've dated it 5-6 years older, but this is a bit more watchable thanks to a capable Vincent Zhao and the ever-lovely Shu Qi. Besides that, it's a standard but amusing Hong Kong action flick, only transported to a more European setting.
Don't watch this for the performances or the thought-out drama. This film is all about kick-ass and watching things go boom. It's not high-brow entertainment, then again, it never even pretends to be. Some nice action scenes, proper pacing, and a shortish runtime are all a film like this needs, and it delivers.
