Seriously, this movie is not good at all. Not only there's no main point in this movie which lead to no excitement part at all, it ends badly as well. Think this movie only selling point are Aaron Kwok and Kelly Chen...

L² Comment:  

The storyline is kinda predictable, nothing special seriously. The most exciting part will be the fighting action part, it was carried out mostly by Ekin & Tony throughout the movie. For me, Kelly Chen is really an extra of this movie, i believe any actress can take her part if it weren't of her fame...

Basically this movie is just for a laugh during the Chinese New Year time in year 2000. Surprisingly, the graphic is extremely good, not too over but enough to make you "wow" during that time. The only problem i have with this film is Ekin Chen !!! His acting is super duper bad~
