Finally after a tiring day, I will finish my review off and yes and yes and hip hip hurray is screaming in my stomach thinking that finally I have finished one of the longest review in the site entire career. Personally I liked the performance of the movie, apart from that stupid fool and more importantly I liked the movie premises which offer something different from what HK cinema usually offers. Director Chan did well, but the movie could have been improved by more suspense, but then again that's my personally opinion. If compared to Heat Team this movie is by far the better one, but if compared to say A Nite in MongKok, this movie is a notch lower. Personally I kind of like it, but it is by no means a flawless movie, but it is refreshing to see the media finally going to risks lives for the truth and more importantly seeking ideal journalism and truth can be manipulated for the better, but then again and unfortunately this is only a movie. (Neo 2004)

I rate it 8/10
