HKFlix Says: 3 Stars
Pretty good martial arts thriller with a somewhat lacking plot and characters. Recommended if you like action and martial arts.
Avg. Rating:
  3.7 / 5 (based on 11 ratings). What did you think of it?
Plot:A young man, Ma Wing-Jing (Kaneshiro) journeys to Shanghai, where he encounters a number of gangsters and crime lords.
Overview:After a severe drought, Ma Wing Jing (Takeshi Kaneshiro) and Tai Cheung (Yuen Wah) leave Shantung for Shanghai. They are forced to work as coolies. Ma - a fierce fighter - saves the life of crime boss Tam See (Yuen Biao), thereby earning the hatred of Tam's rival, Yang Shuang (Yuen Tak).

Ma takes control of a club run by Yam Yueng Tien (Valerie Chow) and soon becomes a famous underworld figure. His swift rise to power leaves him illprepared to deal with Yang's cunning and he must pay a bloody price for his success.

Cast: Takeshi Kaneshiro  ||  Jessica Hester  ||  Yuen Biao  ||  Valerie Chow Kar-Ling  ||  Yuen Wah  ||  Yuen Tak  ||  Corey Yuen Kwai
