Day 335 - Firestorm (Hong Kong)

 

"

A storm is heading to the city of Hong Kong, and with it comes another occurrence so destructive, it vows to bring down everything it touches.
A crew of seasoned criminals led by the notorious Cao Nam (Hu Jun), armed with high-powered weapons, pulls off another smooth and violent armored car heist in broad daylight in a crowded street. Whoever tries to get in their way, they will show no mercy. This puts the police force to shame and humiliation.
A hardboiled senior police inspector Lui Ming-chit (Andy Lau), hot on the trails of Nam and his tight crew, determines to put an end to this madness that causes the lives of innocent people"

The beginning half wasn't that bad but as it moved towards the end the quality of the story suffered. I did like Andy Lau's performance as it was exciting to see and I do like the character development. I didn't like some of the other character development as they seemed like they were dragging down the film at times. The action scenes were well done as they were exciting and at the same time served their purpose. Its a good movie to watch if you want to see an excellent action movie and Andy Lau.
