Rating: 5.6
Cast: Alex Man, Irene Wan, Eric Tsang

Eric Tsang and Alex Man were in dozens of look-alike Hong Kong actioners in the late 80's and this is no different from many others. While in jail serving time for a robbery, three cons learn that the money they stashed in a building is at risk because the building is targeted for demolition. The cons, Alex Man, Eric Tang and Tsui Siu Keung, murder the son of the prison governor in their escape from jail and take a hostage. Complications arise when the governor sends a gang to kill the trio and a the kidnapped hostage's father hires an investigator to hunt the kidnappers down. There is an average amount of gun action and some innovative camera-work, but the film is let down by leaden pacing and a predictable conclusion.

Cantonese cinema from Hong Kong is globally recognized for its action films, martial arts epics, and romantic melodramas. Its innovation in choreography, editing, and atmosphere continues to set new standards for genre filmmaking.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.
