I flicked quickly from the main menu to the extras hoping to find the WTF was that all about? option. On the IMDB its says This plot synopsis is empty. Add a synopsis, but nobody has felt up to it.There's some sort of not especially heinous white collar crime at the centre of this slick Hong Kong caper, around which a cop, a lawyer and an assassin buzz, while bodies twitch and fall relentlessly.
It's all very easy on the eye in a post-Infernal Affairs kind of way, especially Angelica Lee, the very picture of Asian super-cuteness.
Here she plays two mysteriously identical women who we are led to believe are the same person only to have that morsel of sense cruelly snatched from us at the end.
The gaps between the set-piece sequences are filled with icky sentimentality straight out of a pop video. At any moment I was expecting Aaron Kwok to clutch onto a wire fence in the pouring rain and start crooning.
