Brother Fa's excellent performance in both civil and martial arts, Yunlai Restaurant's double-shot killing the enemy is handsome and handsome, and the literary drama with Mao Shunjun and Chen Xinjian is also quite good. Liang Chaowei fixed the classic undercover image in this film, and he was not compared with Fa Ge's opponents at all. Guo Zhenfeng's excellent action guidance, coupled with Hu Dawei's first-class editing, makes the action scenes of the screen gunfight tense, exciting, clear and smooth. This film is the last Hong Kong-produced film made by John Woo in Hollywood, showing the aesthetics of romantic violence. The continuous shooting scene, the bullets flying, the blood oar used a lot, plus the tacit understanding between Fa Ge and Liang Yingdi, this film has established the status of the best action gunfight Hong Kong film!
