For a HK movie, this was NOT bad.
1) director is famous for blowing things up
2) huge budget to blow shit up
3) 劉青雲 and andy lau being back together after 10+ yrs is not bad.
Man have they aged.
Honestly, how they put up with a weird 180 degree of a script was not that welcomed. Can't you just make a standard good cop chasing after a bad guy story line. You don't need to throw in The Departed story line in every cop and robber movie in Hong Kong you know. ahhahhaha
the CGI at the opening scene was so shitty I was so turned off but luckily it wasn't what they set as a standard.
one of the biggest hype of a movie so I was glad I watched it but that's cause there's nothing else to watch 7/10
