Sinekatalog’s take

A gritty Hong Kong crime drama about a street cop whose friendship with a triad member collides with duty after a botched hit. It mixes buddy tension and sudden violence with real character, a strong choice for fans of tough police dramas.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
