When Ka Chue finally discovers the truth and realises he has been double crossed he goes on the run with the help of Kinko, a nightclub hostess whom he rescued. Unfortunately Ka Chue now knows too much and the decision is made to get rid of him. Meanwhile the police are also on his tail for the various hits that he has carried out during his time in Korea.

While Simon Yam always does a good job of such a role, this didn't actually seem to require much in the way of acting from him. He hardly says anything during the whole movie but instead spends most of his time just looking cool (which is ok). Christy Cheung's character is far more interesting as you are never quite sure who's side she is actually on and there is obviously some kind of inner conflict thing going on. While her part in this is over a bit too quickly its great to see her acting again especially in a role that requires her to be more than simply a love interest.

There's a lot of good ideas in this film but it doesn't all quite gel effectively. The relevance of the opening scene, a flashback to a military operation going wrong with Simon and a platoon of soldiers under serious fire, is never explored further or even explained and the film's climax is happening while there are still plenty of loose ends. The action of the final scene is well handled with Simon taking on a small army of gun toting baddies but the film could easily have done with more just to lift it that bit extra in the first hour.
