The director and writer James Yuen - well known for his UFO scripts - tries his hand with an action/drama film here that has potential - but it never fullfills that potential. Alex Fong and his cop partner from HK go to Taiwan to locate a fellow who stole a huge amount of money fom the evidence room. They need the money to win the case - and they have only a few days to find it. A lot of other parties are also looking for the money - and the configurations looked like it would get intriguing - but Yuen just doesn't follow through and the film ends not with a bang - but a whimper

Watch this movie on a rainy day when you have nothing more important to attend to. It's about cops and syndicates and their morals and conscience, or the lack of. Alex Fong's facial expressions are as good to watch as before he sported the present beard & moustache. There isn't much room to demonstrate acting talent as the movie is rather fast paced with a lot of bang-bang. James Yuen, the scriptwriter tries hard, but fails, to humanise his main characters by fatherly phone calls to a daughter; by brief, irrelevant & unrealistic references to a love relationship that develops on a motorcycle; and by incongruous sympathy for a fatherless kid by a potential killer, who would think nothing of killing a father and daughter for their money. Surprisingly, Taiwanese Chan Yiu-Fu puts in a good portrayal of the undercover ex-cop "Ah Chong". I also like the visual comparison of water spurting from a drum and blood spurting from the chest of...who? Watch the movie.
