This might be the worst cop drama I've seen in years. The movie is somehow completely nonsensical and yet 100% predictable at the same time. Honestly, I've seen a more compelling story from the Sniper War series.
Everything looks cheap from the cameras to the editing to the vfx. Pointless flashback scenes pad an already too long movie. The characters are paper thin and generic. There is zero suspense or buildup to anything. The action scenes are boring and shallow, and the poor editing makes them almost incomprehensible.
Definitely skip this one unless you just want mindless gun fights and explosions.

Lewis Koovappearing in all three of these movies with this time playing wanted to heroes of the picture it's just great Hong Kong male testosterone on screen with high pack action and kinetic energy it's a great fun two hour ride I do really enjoy the white Storm series and there's definitely time to complete a 4th movie done the line in this Hong Kong drug war saga's yes the plots very stereotypical and cliche however the action and explosive nature is always rampant up with with high impact and pound pacing
action sequences and great locations throughout Asia and it's great star power with actor's with decades of experience on screen.

Whether it's Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, or Louis Koo, I believe any one of them can guarantee the success of a Hong Kong movie. And when all three of them team up, it's a powerhouse. In the film, I couldn't help but admire Andy Lau's acting skills. He portrayed the role of a seasoned villain who has seen it all with perfection. His rebellious gaze, calm demeanor, and fierce gunfights, especially the way he casually carried that briefcase with a hidden hand grenade, truly embody the kind of character that I despise. While the film spends a lot of time showcasing the brotherly bond between him and Aaron Kwok, thankfully, the director steers it in the right direction. Through Aaron Kwok's final words, he conveys the message that, despite the bonds of friendship, drug trafficking is a menace to society. It's a reminder to law enforcement that true heroes are those who maintain their integrity. The underworld always uses little secrets to control others and for self-preservation.
If you don't already know, this film is the third, and final, film in the three part epic film series. Like the first two the premise and background of the story is about a Hong Kong drug enforcement unit out to catch the bad guy drug pushers and co. It revolves around two undercover cops who work their way close to the head drug lord and, who get into all sorts of action packed scenarios. Its typical of your macho man styled Chinese film but, with an actor like Louis Koo at the head, its a certain winner and potential box office hit.
The action gore from Hong Kong to the Thailand border of Myanmar; it even includes corrupt Thai cops; which is a real life problem.
The acting is great from all involved and its a non brain taxing couple of hours of sheer perfect entertainment.
