Chui lung II: Chak wong

This follow up to CHASING THE DRAGON is once more by Wong Jing, although Yen and Lau don't return. Instead this tells a totally separate but true story about a crime kingpin who terrorised Macau and Hong Kong in the 1990s. Louis Koo yet again plays a cop who goes undercover in the gangster's empire and soon finds himself treading a fine line between life and death. The film isn't one of the best I've seen but it's fitfully enjoyable and the second half is definitely more entertaining than the first. It tends to pick up when Michael Wong (who's finally aged) enters the fray. An ancient-looking Tony Leung plays the big bad with Simon Yam in support.
