Histoire
Commentaire à la une
The premiss of this cop drama is quite promising. It depicts a scenario in which the dedication of the few honest officers amongst Hong Kong's colonial police have to combat both their own crooked comrades as well as the increasingly powerful Triad gangs that are gradually overrunning the place - to the extent that the British might have to send in their troops to restore law and order. What also complicates the story is that both "Nam Kong" (Tony Leung) and "Lui Lok" (Aaron Kwok) are aspirational policemen who are prepared to use whatever it takes to get on - and that, coupled with the equally ambitious attitudes of their wives, means that they are just as corrupt and devious as those they are purporting to be trying to control. The thing with this drama is it's pace. It takes far, far, too long to get going with way too little action or intrigue until well into the second hour, by which time I was starting to wriggle in my seat. There's an inevitability about the whole story thereafter and Philip Yung just doesn't manage to create characters about whom I could care less. The whole honour code/triad criminality plot is largely neglected in favour of an half-hearted, semi-westernised, crime thriller that really is distinctly lacking in thrills and that is just too long. It meandered and rambled too much for me with much to much dialogue and nowhere near enough focus on what could have been a really good hybrid-culture, political, adventure. It's OK, watchable, but really nothing more.
