Starring: Anthony Wong, Shawn Yue, Guo Xiaodong
Media Asia Films ans Sil-Metropole. Hong Kong, 2012
Cheung (Shawn Yue) and Lo (Anthony Wong) are traffic cops who try to catch speeders. Lo is already waiting for retirement. Rookie Cheung spends his time by street racing at night. A crime boss escapes prison with the help of master driver Jiang (Guo Xiaodong). Criminals escape so Cheung must learn new tricks to drive in the tight alleys.
Lo and Cheung serious after hard day's work. |
This is a modern style Hong Kong film, so action is quite realistic. Plot is quite simple. The action is serious and there is almost complete lack of humour. Anthony Wong is good as an old master driver. Car chases are good to watch and rubber burns in the drifting scenes. The mountain road scenes remind of Initial D live action movie which Shawn Yue also starred.
HIghspeed chases are a must in this genre. |
Bad guys being bad |
