An excellent portrayal of an undercover cop working to bring an end to a huge drug network in Hong Kong.
The film gives three sides of the story and shows the viewer a glimpse into the world of the drug-lord, the undercover cop and the addict.
All three main characters (Andy Lau, David Wu and Zhang Jingchu) gives an excellent and flawless performance. Where does one draw the line between business and drug smuggling, crime prevention and aiding crime, addiction and family? Is David Wu's character the protégé or are the addicts the protégé? At the end of the day, drugs destroys everything. One could turn a blind eye, but everything comes round in a circle.
