[edit] Plot
Bey Logan, who also has a small role in the film, wrote this overview:
"A team of young Interpol agents arrive in Hong Kong to give testimony at the trial of local Triad boss 'Puma' Duen. Among them are Interpol agent Andy Hui (Andy On), Taiwanese cop Vanness Chang (Vanness Wu), and lawyer Lok. They are greeted by Hong Kong police chief Hon Sun (Simon Yam). The heavily armed convoy taking Puma to court is attacked by a ruthless team of Triad soliders, led by infamous hitman Petros Davinci (Michael Biehn). Petros is seeking revenge for his partner, who was killed by Puma and his brother, 'Tiger' Duen. At Petros' side is his fierce enforcer, Ko (Jun-ho Heo), and a lethal lady sniper, Song (Maggie Q). After Puma is snatched, the Interpol team insists on tracking down Petros themselves. Hon Sun rejects their request and places the team in the care of veteran police officer Kong Long (Sammo Hung). A burned out cop who has never come to terms with either his personal or professional history, Long Kong is reluctant to get involved. Finally, inspired by his young charges, he rises to the occasion, and leads the Interpol team on their quest for Petros and his team."
In the end, Ko is defeated by Long and commits suicide, Song is shot dead by the teams sniper, Joe pearson is electrocuted to death and Petros is shot dead by Hui.
