The silly yellow and orange cover and the ridiculous English title does no justice to the true content of the movie. At the heart of it, the movie follows a pair of street cops in the bustling city of Hong Kong and disects the dynamics of a idealist rookie and a calloused veteran cop, though the very first scene showed that same veteran cop as a bright-eyed eager rookie himself. This is not a typical Hong Kong super-cop movie against a gang of evil bad guys. It's about the trials and tribulations that's inherent in the day to day job of being an ordinary cop. Infused in that story line runs two more story lines that converges here and there and bisects in the end. It follows the life of a psychologically delusioned man and his daily life which includes going to various businesses and causing headaches for the owners, but as we delve further in his life, we can't help but feel compassion for his bitter past. And lastly, it follows an elusive serial killer whose identity we don't get to see til the last scene. The crossing of the various characters was seamlessly done, and you grow to love each character for who they are (except for the killer who deserves the chair)and you hope for their best. Great movie, however I know Chinese and watched it in Chinese. I don't know if it shows a dubbed version and I didn't notice English subtitles.
