On a mission to protect a scientist who has stolen a copy of the smallpox virus in Jordan on an International Defence Commission escort mission, Sean betrays his IDC team in order to get the virus so he can mutate it into a biological weapon, develop a vaccine and sell it to a corrupt pharmaceutical company via an arms dealer. The failed mission leaves Jon Man injured and his girlfriend Ice dead. With two weeks to live, he decides to spend his remaining days with his mother who tells him that he has a long lost brother, Man Yeung whom she left behind with his father, Man Tin. Jon decides to track Yeung down in Malaysia but upon arrival, he discovers that Yeung has become a wanted felon and is part of the plot orchestrated by Sean. Jon is drawn into the conflict, not only to protect his family but to ensure his brother does not go further down the road of unrighteousness and to take down Sean's operation for good.

L² Comment:

From the thriller, it really attracted my attention, but the actual first 10 min of the movie make me yawn and almost sleep... Nicholas Tse acted very well in either emotional way and on all fighting scene; Jay in another hand has nothing much to show his talent. Liu Kai Chi still perform all the best he can... Overall the story is ok, but a bit bored...

And btw, i was stuck in a horrible jam when they shoot this film at Pavilion...grrrhhh...

Though Nick Cheung and Liu Kai Zhi both won the Best Actor and Best supporting actor in multiple academy awards, but i can't really feel how good they are in this film. Is it because that year their competitors are not strong enough? Or just luck perhaps?

But both Nick and Liu are definitely good actors, hope to see more of their movie soon...
