A man diagnosed with only a short time to live plans an elaborate game of cat and mouse with one of the best hostage negotiators in hong kong. While being far from a great film, both Andy Lau and Ching Wan Lau are good in this movie and help the film to transcend it's mediocre standard plot... to a point. The problem isn't with the acting per say, but rather with the ending which didn't really feel to be true in keeping with the film, to me at least.Johnny To does seem to be an OK director, but having seen this and "Beyond Hyperthermia", it leads me to believe him to be a slightly over-rated one.
