Pay close attention to Aaron Kwok's brows.
This series about drug trafficking, undercover narcs and crime bosses is thematic only. Recurring Hong Kong big names take turns to play good or bad guys as though it's musical chairs.This time, the action-drama, helmed by returning writer-director Herman Yau , turns eventually into a crazy, all-out Vietnam War-style movie. Bullets and explosions pour holy hell as soldiers and warplanes storm a drug-producing village in the Golden Triangle at the Thai-Myanmar border.
Au, teamed up with Interpol, pursues them to their hideout which allows the film to set up showdowns with the three amigos framed as a twisted Gang Of Brothers with the villainous Suchat not realising that his good pal, Xing, is really an undercover officer.Thanks to deft acting, especially by a goateed Lau playing the cocky, nihilistic alpha, it’s a kicking threesome when they converge. Flashbacks showing how they initially met are HK-thriller solid.
“We’re the rising stars of the Golden Triangle,” Suchat proclaims as he aligns violently with the local Khun Sa-inspired warlord who looks like a Chairman Mao-wannabe spouting crooked wisdom about selling drugs to help the farmers. You gotta hand it to this pic for staging mountain-pass ambushes with enthusiasm.
Much of the tension is drawn from Xing’s tenuous situation as he risks his cover being blown and his allegiance being torn in ethical struggles. Kwok does the heavy lifting quite sufficiently as the trapped moral centre trying to contact Au from the signal-less countryside. While attempting to save a village girl, Noon , he chats with in a yawn fest about escaping to a better place right in front of a giant poppy field.Make it two handsome brows as the best fun here is seeing both pretty boys — Koo and Kwok — given equal weightage as cop bros.
