Quentin Tarantino has often been criticized for modelling RESERVOIR DOGS on Ringo Lam Ling-tung's CITY ON FIRE, so director Alan Lo Shun-chuen evidently felt that this made him well within his rights to rip off Tarantino's movie. The result is jaw-droppingly inept and a front runner for worst HK movie of 2001. Blackie Ko Shou-liang (as a combination of the Lawrence Tierney and Chris Penn characters) assembles a gang of thieves (including Simon Lui Yu-yeung in the Michael Madsen role, Lam Suet in the Steve Buscemi part, Lok Ying-kwan as the Harvey Keitel character, and Michael Tong Man-lung as the Tim Roth undercover cop) to pull off a daytime jewellery store robbery. However, the police are lying in wait for them and some of the criminals are killed. The survivors gather in a warehouse to try and figure out who betrayed them and, on his own, Lui abuses a female cop, convinced that she knows who the mole is. Flashbacks show how Tong was talked into going undercover by Danny Lee Sau-yin (playing "Lee Sir" for what must be the 500th time) and how he gained Ko's trust, convincing the boss to include him on the caper.
