 I was blown away by this one. This film is dramatic. It has some kung fu, but it is explaining the nature of corruption and greed in the worst way.
Jason does an excellent job in portraying what an official should do after taking an oath to uphold goodness, as he put it. Danny Lee and Sun Chen are his good friends who have the same feelings, but the cops around him are in love with the money, so all bets are off. My man Lo Lieh is a villain of course who has connections with the local officials, even though he is captued and jailed to plot his own revenge against the guys who put him there.
A must-see. [Possible spoilers ahead.] And the ending is, well, the corupt officials get what they deserve. |
