Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Wang Yu's Hong Kong super-cop arrives in Sydney on a case, mercifully not reduced to Chinese caricature status. Otherwise this is imitation late Bond stuff, larded with all the predictable ingredients: girls, car chases, less than pointed wit, fights (kung-fu and otherwise), hang-gliding as the novel twist, and a number of statutory Chinese martial arts movie ingredients lurking under the Western veneer. Directed with basic bash-and-smash competence.
