This movie is a success at what it attempts to be: a high-octane, bullet-riddled, stunts-galore, action-packed, youth-themed, glossy Hollywood-style bonanza.  We're talking skydiving scenes (never attempted in an HK film until now), detailed exploding miniatures, gun-fights on top of gun-fights, special effects, quick-cut filmmaking, and a cast of characters so huge it must have been a nightmare to coordinate them all.
