Story:
During the time Hong Kong was under British rule, there was a dark age when corruption and bribery were the order of the day. Chinese Chief Inspector Lak together with his gang, Unicorn, Gale and Gold laundered massive sums thereby making Hong Kong an empire of graft. Whenever they failed to apprehend the felons, Unicorn would get innocent victims, like Bong, to admit to the crimes.
Gale had nine "wives", all of them were actually mistresses of other constables, only Lily was loyal to him, but Gale was fascinated by the female drug lord, Rose. Lak was found having an affair with Unicorn's mistress. Unicorn beat up Lak and was demoted to stand guard at a reservoir.
In the early 1970s, the Governor of Hong Kong decided to clean up the police force. The ICAC was established, whose operation branch was headed by Yim. Bong and Unicorn also joined the ICAC. Despite threats of violence and intimidation, they managed to bring about the downfall of the empire of graft.

Love this movie very much, never know that Wang Jing can be good in directing a serious movie. The whole movie flows quite well and there is no any scene which i feel is an extra. Eason did a good job so as Tony, Anthony & Wang Jing who never failed to delivers the good acting. Natalie is surprisingly sexy in this movie and definitely KO Kate Tsui in this movie.
Kate Tsui is so cute! :) She is definately one of the promising actresses in the HK movie & drama industry. Love her acting as always. Hope to see more of her movies in future.
ReplyDeleteyes, i love her too. But she did not have the chance to shine much in this movie~
