Louis Koo is Sean Wong a robber who is a prime suspect in a murder case, detective Yip Sau-Ching (Philip Keung) is the man who will take him down for a robbery and murder Sean and his crew did months before. In the jewelry heist gone wrong Sean and his crew killed an undercover agent, crippled a sales assistant and a customers mom also dies of a heart attack, and as a result of the getaway a big shoot out with many bystanders being killed and a bag of jewelry going missing.
The murder case is being dealt with by Larry Lam (Louis Cheung) and Charmaine (Cherry Ngan) who find a junkie, throat slit and only witness to this crime seems to be a parrot. Can the bird identify the murderer ? How does Sean and crew fit into the puzzle ?
Questions i'm sure you all want answers to and in this Andrew Fung film that doesn't turn heads, in this by the numbers thriller, but it certainly entertains.
Its a decent thriller with Louis (I can make more films than you) Koo in great form as a bank robber that takes no prisoners but still has a heart, really driving this feature forward with purpose and the film has a few surprises along the way. Louis Cheung does well as the cop who hasn't quite given up on the day job but has debts to deal with as well as a murder case. Maybe Philip Keung just getting the nod over Louis with his performance as an inspector with an unhealthy obsession in bringing Koo in.
Its a film that will play well to audiences there's enough in there to keep you guessing and makes for an enjoyable film and isn't that what films are all about.
