8/10
Plot thickens and comes to a closure
6 June 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Although this is a sequel to Part 1, much of the story takes place before inspectors Chan dies, so you'll see him still alive for most of the movie, as does Sam and SP Wong. New character played by Leon Lai (SP Yueng) enters the plot to add pressure to the nefarious activities of inspector Ming, and how the tape evidence to his crime survives his attempts to destroy it becomes part of the plot to this sequel.

Kelly Chen reprises her role as Dr. Lee and plays a part in unraveling of Ming's secret. Bit story of Ming and Chan + SP Yuen in their younger days in the academy are told to tie the plot.

This is a story where the schemer get out schemed by his own activity, and digs his own grave. In the end you see him tapping "Hell" in Morse code (which for some reason he was keen to study in previous parts), probably recognizing that there's hell to pay for all he's done.

Good of this movie was the part of SP Yueng played by Leon Lai. He was just great in this role.

Part 3 is made with same craftsmanship of the first two that put this series on the map. How inspector Ming's deception comes out in the open is the main intrigue of this final installment, and you will not be disappointed.
