Loved this movie when I saw it at a film festival in Santa Fe back in '97. I've been looking for it ever since. Finally found it and bought it as a Christmas present for my brother. He liked it too!

I just watched this movie for the 4th time and enjoyed it the 4th time as much as the 1st. It has the same improbable plot and circumstances as Mission Impossible but with great HK action sequences. Takeshi Kaneshiro is one of my favorite actors and he doesn't disappoint! You won't regret it taking the time to see this one.

This review is from: Downtown Torpedoes (DVD)

A hip, modern Hong Kong flick inspired by Mission:Impossible (and more fun), that manages to be big, flashy, and entertaining. Fast-paced action, excellent editing, cool stunts, and energetic direction make it feel like a slick, animated Japanese cartoon. Particularly noteable is Jordan Chan in the film, who does much of the movie's cool fights, dodging, and running. Takeshi Kaneshiro, however, doesn't do much here, other than look pretty for the female audience. Needless to say, at around 90 minutes, you won't get a whole lot of character development, but there's plenty intriquite action, nice European locations, twists with plenty plot-holes (yet "cool" nevertheless). If you're looking for substance in your film, you won't find it here, but you will get a "fun," entertaining, spy flick with speedy Hong Kong action, at least more entertaining than a James Bond flick (although it makes just about as much sense). Not bad if you want to be entertained for 90 minutes. As for the DVD: The DVD I got didn't have any extras, which was a shame. The english subtitles were part of the image.
