    It's a high-gloss version of a Hong Kong action picture, made in America but observing the exuberance of a genre where surfaces are everything.

    It's just like a spectacularly excessive and melodramatically daft Cantonese crime opus, but in English, with a thumpingly trendy soundtrack.

    This melodramatic action opera is a lurid love letter to the guns and poses aesthetic of Hong Kong action cinema.
