This story is the tale of two brothers: one a successful counterfeiter and the younger a fledgling graduate of the HK police academy. The plot revolves around the split when the younger brother learns the other is a criminal and the efforts of the criminal brother to reform. Along the way are plenty of heists, double-crosses, and shoot outs. Written by Victor R. Volkman

Really good Hong Kong crime-thriller from John Woo that features decent fight scenes and a great performance by Chow Yun-Fat in a supporting role. I'll be watching the sequel sometime next week. **3.75/5**
