The other reviews on here say it all - Anthony Wong gives a fantastic performance and the gruesome scenes are truly hard to take. This makes the movie watchable for those who want a shiver or a laugh (depending on your character!) What is often ignored in all these reviews is that the other half of this story is dismally poor. It concerns the work and ways of the police-force trying to catch Wong. The acting is so incredibly poor and the script so woefully thin that it lets down the entire movie. I have read reviews saying that this 'fun' aspect of the film is to relieve the tension. Maybe that was the intention, however it has turned horribly wrong. The scenes and acting make you cringe, and you even start to look forward to Wong's next butchering scene - a shame he doesn't butcher any of his co-"stars".... Still worth watching, don't get me wrong. I can't deny it's a bit of a classic.
