Chan, an articulate senior detective nearing the end of his career, is taking care of the daughter of a witness killed by ruthless crime lord Po. Martial arts expert Ma is set to take over as head of the crime unit, replacing Chan who wants an early retirement.
SPL is definitely one to import from Asia, since the Weinsteins have picked up English-language rights, which means we can expect the film to be rescored by a cheap computer program, dubbed into English by failed children’s’ TV presenters and cut to buggery – which is pretty criminal considering this is the best Hong Kong actioner in years, featuring superb performances from Donnie Yen, Sammo Hung and Simon Yam and some seriously vicious I’m-not-showing-off-I-really-want-to-kill-you fight scenes. The plot is fairly standard, with Yam’s dying cop on the verge of retirement crossing the line to put away Hung’s very unpleasant gang lord (there’s NOTHING lovable about Sammo here), implicating his replacement Yen and dooming his men as everything goes seriously wrong, but it’s the execution that raises it above the norm. Aside from the brutal and convincing fight scenes superbly staged by Yen, Wai-Sun Yip’s direction of the film around them is particularly strong, managing to balance a stylish but not overpowering visual sense with a gravitas and grasp of character that gives the inevitable violence more weight.
That’s not to say there aren’t plot holes – in one scene Hung’s wife is incapable of having children and in the next she’s got a one-month old child, while no police force in the world would release a criminal when they have video footage of him playing golf with an undercover cop’s head even if he doesn’t deliver the coup de grace – but there are fewer than usual for the genre, and if you can make allowances the strengths far outweigh them.
