One of Billy Tang's better films. It's also one of his more polished ones, even though the film still honors its CAT III roots. It's just that the structure and build-up feel less rushed and random compared to other films in the niche. That said, this film is all about the finale, like so many other Hong Kong films of that era.
There are plenty of familiar faces here (always nice to catch up with Simon Yam), the film looks better than usual (then again, it's a '93 HK film), and there are some pretty cool scenes in the latter half. It's not quite up there with the best of its era, but for someone who has seen all the bigger titles already, this was a cool find for sure.
