Plot
The story starts with Kit, who is a Hong Kong cop who has currently disguised himself as an addict to drugs in order to get access to an unlawful act that has been taking place in the town. He was on a mission to catch a group that kidnapped people and ship them to Thailand, where they were killed and their organs were sold in the black market. Mr. Hung who is the mastermind of the crime, suffers from a rare heart condition that requires a heart transplant to live further. In order to be successful in the transplantation, Hung needs his brother’s heart, who is a perfect donor. When Mr. Hung plans to kidnap his brother, his plan fails. Because Kit had informed the police about the kidnapping beforehand. Will Hung manage to survive?
Star Performance
Max Zhang was awesome in the film. Being a Chinese, he could manage with Thai language not only that his fighting style is also the best. The rest of the cast has also performed well.
Analysis
The film suffers from pacing issues. Some areas of the story can be very slow since they are trying to flesh out the characters. Then sub plots with sub characters get their time to shine afterwards and the story loses its focus before fully developing the main characters. You can probably tell they didn't do a superb job of it and so for the first half of the movie you get a little action and a lot of dialogue. Then the movie starts to pick up, and for the ending they kind of said eff it and threw non-stop action with very little story.

Verdict
Highly recommended for those who like some dark, emotional martial arts stories for those rainy nights. The film itself is outstanding to watch, but you cannot dismiss some of the flaws in storytelling, plot, and pacing.
