an action film at heart . the story of gun smuggling be just a backing just big enough to support the relentless action scene . motorcycle explode in mid air and car blow up and shotgun and pistol and submachine gun and bomb . it all here . they all make for some of the best action sequence ever film . a good mix of the gritty and realistic with the improbable and totally fake . though i think that the end be bit too much . but what can you expect from woo aside from a molotov cocktail of intense explosive action and violence . action and cult movie fan be advise to watch this film and however others might be turn off by it . positive rat r represent intense strong violence .
