Sheila (Hu) and Feng (Fong) have been rivals since childhood, until they are separated as kids. Growing up in the rough Hong Kong underworld, Sheila ends up being a gambler and hitwoman, while Feng is now an all-powerful triad boss. When both of them inexplicably ends up on opposing sides of a mob war, chaos ensues.

Sibelle Hu looks quite different here, glamorous and dressed in suits, and acting a bit refined than her usual tough cop roles she plays, but that goes out of the window in the last twenty minutes when she starts wielding a shotgun. At first, this Hong Kong actioner starts out slow, and the plot is convoluted, though interesting enough to stick with. It soon progresses into a rather tense and exciting concoction of betrayal, past rivalries and double cross, which culminates in gun battles and sword wielding between two babes- one of them is Michiko Nishiwaki, who happens to be a goodie. Alex Fong is quite good as the drug addict villain.

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.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.
