Uma versão leve e agradável do tema da amizade, típico de John Woo, apimentado com ação rápida. Um filme mais alegre e positivo do que as maiores pérolas do mestre, e correspondentemente um pouco menos excitante. Mas os personagens são simpáticos, a ação mantém o seu nível tradicionalmente elevado e não falta reviravolta surpreendente. ()
In terms of Woo’s Hong Kong movies, this is unusually mediocre, and should be ignored, while concentrating on his serious stuff. Although John Woo gets the comedy timing right, it doesn’t suit the serious story and so what we get is a humdrum hybrid. As always, this is held above water by the charisma of Chow Yun-Fat, but I probably don’t even have to remind anybody of that fact. The pleasant thing about this is that the central acting duo headed by the director doesn’t balk at making fun of his own greatest hits, although this has no positive influence on the movie as a whole.

Brilliant shootouts, guns of all kinds, wheelchair shooting, and C4 kickboxing. An action-packed flick with all the trimmings. ()
