What can you expect from a Hong Kong action film from the 90s? Exactly that! An expedient minimal plot as a link for one demolition following on from the next. Brutal martial arts, bloody shoot-outs, all cut ultra-fast and completely humourless. Important, regardless of casualties, which means that women and children are not protected here. Conceptually, I see Heroic Bloodshed rather than Lucky Stars, of course without playing in either league in terms of quality. They're just free riders. Sure, one of these films is like the other, the actors' performances are cheerful to cloudy, but the physical action is right, Haudrauf on the verge of self-destruction. Those who like it fast, hard and short will enjoy this film.

The title sounds promising doesn't it? If you were expecting something like Iron Angels this movie just falls short.

The focus seems to be more on drama than on the action. In this genre this just doesn't work. We don't want to see these women humiliated or drugged.We want them to kick ass! There are too many scenes that are just too much. Kenneth Tsang playing the bad guy shows emotion when one of his friends get killed. In the other scene he urinates on the woman he said he loved. Very disgusting scene and very unnecessary. The main character gets captured, tortured and drugged. She manages to look like some junkie who has been an addict for years. (She only has been put on the drugs for one week or so! I mean I get it that you want to emphasize the dramatic effects of drug use but seriously don't go over the top please.) Obviously the director wanted to shock us only at what cost? It put me off this film. Besides the mood in a genre like this shouldn't be this dark. Although I wouldn't mind that much if the action scenes were good. Apart from some decent scenes the action is not mind blowing. To be fair it is just average. The only reason we tolerate any kind of plot and story telling in the genre if it serves the action and not the other way around. It would distract too much.

My advice: watch it one time and then forget about it!

To start this off although it was 30 years movie but still the action scene were all properly choreographed the action remains not only watchable but enjoyable

The story line is cheesy but it was so surreal where the heroin was forced to take drugs and the gambling addiction by the cop... everything the story line does was fine to earth.....

Secondly the acting was top notch by Kenneth Tsang, Shum wei even all the small supporting gave a great performance

It really worth the watch.. the paving of the movie might be slow but the action pack will keep you entertain.
