Member DiP Posted April 30, 2014 Author Member Share Posted April 30, 2014 Synopsis: Lucifer and his gangsters dress their minibus to resemble a police vehicle, and pose as policemen for a robbery. Police Officer Chui has sensed “criminal intent”. Without police orders, he investigates these gangsters. At the robbery the gangsters engage in a gunfight against the real criminals, who kill randomly. Lucifer and his men are infuriated. They may wear police costumes and use toy guns, but their passion is real. Sensing their righteous passion, Chui decides to side with the imposters and their 16-passenger EU vehicle. Lucifer and his men re-discover the bond they felt when they used to battle together. Finally, Chui, Lucifer and the gang defeat the criminals, showing Chui that anyone can be a hero, and righteousness resides within us all.

Member FilmMomatic Posted October 4, 2015 Member Share Posted October 4, 2015 This movie was amusing at times, but it could've been so much more. I agree with the LoveHKFilm review. The overdirection and excessive style hurts it a lot, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
