男儿本色

A gang of 7 who were military trained terrorized hk when they robbed a 押款车 of 一亿美金. But they were doubled crossed by the man who hired them and this lead them to seek him out.

These start to involve the lives of 3 different policemen ....

吴京 reprised his roles of baddies yet again, the one in 杀破浪 was quite memorable. An almost invincible assassin using just a blade to kill. This time round, he is much more invincible. Looked undefeatable in fist fights and physical combat.

谢霆锋 as 陈晋, his fiance was killed when they robbed the money truck which exploded. 余文乐 as 方奕威, he and his team of 便衣 stopped 吴京's vehicle when they were back in hk. The whole team was overwhelmed, and this training inspector 方奕威 was dealt a big blow. He literally kena 吃子弹 !!!

房祖名 as 卫景灏, was a patrol policeman. He got involved because his brother who was a policeman as well, got suspected he was with the baddie gang. But in fact, he was the undercover but got killed when his police boss betrayed him. Funny thing was his brother was never shown in person, but picture shown was Aaron Kwok's. Surprised, he died in the end, though fulfilling his objective of arresting 吴京, he cuffed his leg while he hold them so tightly even after repeated thumping by 吴京 could not made him release them.

It was action packed throughout this 2 hours+ movie, rare for hk movies. Though some details are left unexplained and some loopholes here and there. A typical polices and thieves movie, no main plot of undercovers but of course the man who hired them had to be high ranked policeman. 7/10.
