2/10
highly overrated and unrealistic

Warning: Spoilers
Spoilers :

Lots of action, but thats about the single good thing about it. Story's too unrealistic doesn't make sense, for someone loses his career for disability and decide to destroy a city is totally laughable, no one would ever do such a thing let alone to nuke hong kong. Acting again too unnatural and overly exaggerated, dialogues are childish like book reading instead of normal conversation. These are common problems of hk movies today, too unrealistic and highy overrated. Actions are ok, but again a lot of stuffs are just too unconvincing, like shooting the bomb suit with sniper rifle, even if the bullet doesn't get through the person would likely fell taking a ton of pain, instead of taking them like bee stings and continuing his job which is ridiculous. Pushing the train with another is again another silly scene, operating at like full speed the train collide with a stopping cart and the operator and trains can go on without a scratch like nothing happened is just lame, at that speed the trains would have totally trashed and the operator would be dead. Things like using 8 nukes to bomb an airport is as well totally hilarious, for a small city like hk, 1 nuke is more than enough to devastate everything. 8 nukes for an airport? Are you kidding me. This is the kind of production by people whos lack of common sense and lazy doing enough research. The overall cg is passable, but the speed of explosions and collisions are too quick, effects are unnatural. And finally hong kong police nowadays has zero sense of conscience, they are all mindless animals that prosecute selectively and beat up people whoever they dislike, even students and pregnant woman.
