Storyline:
Wing is a great police officer who always tries his best to catch criminals. On a particular case however, Wing cannot catch the criminals. It is a gang of five teenagers who are out to steal money from banks and then kill the police who are out to get them. These five teenagers are very spoilt and rich, so they have a lot of high-tech technology to make a game. The teenagers must kill the police officers to gain points. The leader of this gang is Joe, who was abused by his father when he was a child. Joe's father is a police officer and because of this, Joe hates the police. Wing enters the gang's game and due to this, his police team dies, including his girlfriend's brother who also entered the gang's game. Wing feels responsible for the whole team's deaths and cannot face his girlfriend.

It is Fung who helps Wing out of the rut. He cleans his house and even buys a birthday cake for Wing's girlfriend because he knows Wing would forget. Eventually Wing gets back on his feet and decides to put a stop to the gang of five. Wing and Fung work together as a team to capture the criminals!

Acting:
Jackie Chan - In this movie, Jackie Chan was very different. At the start he was sad and always crying. He was drinking all the time. He was very depressed. His character is extremely different from Lee in Rush Hour and Rush Hour 2. This movie shows that Jackie Chan can be both serious and funny. Although he wasn't in that many funny scenes in this movie, he showed excellent acting skills. This is because he changed from a depressed, sad, lonely man to a man who worked hard to achieve his goals. His goal was to capture the gang of five and was very determined to achieve it. I give him a 5/5 for his acting!

Nicholas Tse - I think that Nicholas was great in this movie! He was actually really funny and I was impressed by the stunts he did in this movie. I liked the part when was hanging off from building. I think Nicholas acted very well and he was a very interesting character. Nicholas helped this movie become not just an action movie, but also something to laugh at and enjoy. I think Nicholas acted very well and when he smiled while joking, it made me laugh. Rating of 4/5.

Daniel Wu - Daniel Wu was quite a crazy character in this movie. Joe's dad treated him badly, always insulting him and calling him names. This led to his hatred of police officers. Daniel played this character really well because it seemed very realistic and I felt very sorry for his character. Daniel made this character a killer, but not a cold-blooded killer. His character had a lot more depth to it and you can see at the end how much pain he was feeling. I think Daniel was very real in this movie. I rate the acting a 4.5/5

Charlene Choi - Charlene didn't do much in this movie. Her character was Fung's love interest but this wasn't expanded at all. It was obvious he liked her, but nothing happened. Sa Sa was also helping Fung and Wing by using the computer to find useful information. This only happened from time to time, so Charlene's screen time was little. I do think that Charlene also added some humour in this series so I reckon she did a pretty good job at that. It would not be fair for me to rate her because she didn't feature much in this movie.

Charlie Yeung - Charlie Yeung was Jackie Chan's girlfriend in this movie. She played this role satisfactorily from start to finish. I think that she also had quite little screen time, and I do not know why. I felt sorry for her character though, because she lost her brother and Wing was on a very dangerous case. She had a chance of losing him too. When Charlie Yeung cried I could see her tears coming out and I felt even more deeply sorry for her. But I think her acting was a bit wooden because I didn't really know what she was feeling when she wasn't crying. Due to her lack of screen time, I don't think it is fair for me to give her a rating.

BOY'Z - BOY'Z were funny in this movie but were only guest stars! I wish they weren't! They did a great job!

Conclusion:
I reckon that this movie was fantastic! I really enjoyed it and the technology used by the Daniel Wu and his gang was really cool! This movie is definitely different from any movie you have ever seen about police cops. This movie is definitely one that heaps of people will enjoy!
