I was searching all over the internet for the original Chinese/Vietnamese version of this but all I could find was a dubbed version so bad I put the entire movie on mute and watched it with English subtitles (which did not match the dubbing in any way, either). It was very annoying.Inspector Ma (Donnie Yen) is a hard-nosed Hong Kong detective who uses his fists to stop crime. Which sounds cool, but is actually terrifying for his partner, Wilson (Louis Koo), who is undercover with a trio of Vietnamese mobster brothers smuggling across the border. One of the brothers (Ray Lui) is caught but the other two (Colin Chou and Shi Yanneng) are determined to make sure Wilson never testifies against him. Ma and Wilson must step outside of the law in order to get justice.
Okay, as cops, these dudes are The Wooooooorst. Just absolutely terrible at being police. As martial arts killing machines, however? Aces all around. Honestly, the plot is paper-thin, the dialogue is half-assed, and as previously mentioned the dubbing was excruciatingly bad. But I'm not watching it for any of those things, I'm watching it to see Donnie Yen whip some serious ass and boy, does he! (Also, bonus shirtless thirst trap on the beach for literally no reason.)
It's available on Peacock but their subtitles cut off on the right side for some reason, so I ended up watching it on Tubi.
