Perhaps my opinion of this film will be very subjective, because Leslie Chun played the main role in it. But it was the first time I saw a Hong Kong film about an undercover cop and a triad, in which the showdown between the mafia and the police is not the main storyline.
In fact, it's a love story. Japanese girl Hitomi meets a Chinese man who looks like her deceased fiancé. True, this guy for some reason runs from the police, carries a pistol behind his belt and periodically behaves even more strangely, but how can this prevent her from becoming attached to him, since she can not accept the death of her lover?
Bo is interested in several other questions: why he does not receive support and information from fellow police officers, who tracked him down in his house, how to find the perpetrators and how to prove that he was not involved in the charges. But the girl is quite cute.
It ended up being a nice movie. It looks nice, the soundtrack is heartwarming, the love line prevails over the showdown between the police and the mafia, and the film is completely not perceived as another Hong Kong action movie about the triads. Well, the scene at the beginning of the film, where the hero Leslie, imitating, apparently, Dartagnan, kisses an unfamiliar girl from the run to hide from the chase, turned out generally wonderful.
It’s a shame that this is one of Leslie Chun’s last films.
