I've now seen this film a couple of times and enjoyed it. However, can I just affirm that its portrayal of the culture and methods of the Hong Kong Police Force is pure fiction. I acknowledge that a bit of poetic license is given for the creative process, but this film is so far off the mark its laughable.
Having said that, the cinematography is impressive, bringing out the best that the Hong Kong skyline has to offer. The acting is impressive, except for Micheal Wong. He is his usual staid self and unappealing in portrayal of the Commissioner. Wong neither has the acting chops or the gravitas to fill the role.
