A HK action drama starring Michelle Yeoh and Cynthia Rothrock as Inspector Ng and Inspector Morris, out to locate a missing microfilm that could be used to implicate Triad Leader Tin (James Tien). Caught in the mix are petty thieves Asprin (Mang Hoi) and Strepsil (John Shum), who accidentally gained possession of the microfilm.
The main plot involving the inspectors investigating Tin trying to locate the incriminating microfilm is a bit intriguing, and Tin proves he is too big of a task for the inspectors to catch using legal means gives the story a bit of a twist. The chemistry between the partnership of Ng and Morris was well-played, as in their fighting choreography in their impressive martial arts scenes. However, The subplot involving the thieves and their leader Panadol (Hark Tsui) drags on and on with little suspense, which I think slows down the movie.
However, what the movie lacks is humor, a well-connected plot that ties everything together and a ***spoiler ahead*** fitting ending (it was very anti-climatic)***spoiler ends***.
Overall, I've seen better action films from Hong Kong.
Grade D+
