HKL DVDs from different countries are usually the same except for the covers.
Many people really liked this film's slow pace and "flawed" characters; but we feel the film just didn't have too much to say, and the corrupt characters were too sleazy and selfish to really care about.
A portrait of several corrupt but well-intentioned cops and their interactions with the local triad.
Overview:
One of the most universally acclaimed motion pictures in the history of Hong Kong cinema!! Acclaimed director Gordon Chan ("Fist Of Legend", "2000 AD", "The Big Heat") dispenses with convention to bring one of the most graphic and insightful action-thrillers of recent years.
Ruthlessly realistic, and vivid and unremitting in its uncompromising brutality and honesty, Beast Cops is a visceral and hard-hitting exploration of the dichotomous existence of two cops charged with upholding the law, while balancing on a moral knife-edge. Compelling and controversial, with a breakout performance of startling intensity from leading man Anthony Wong, this raw and enticing action-thriller has mesmerized audiences worldwide with its disturbing examination of the subjective and marginal morality, which inhabits the uncertain and ambiguous world of law enforcement.
The graphic intensity of the final reels underpins an unforgettable and harrowing spectacle, which has seldom--if ever--been paralleled in Western cinema.
