Verdict: A refreshment that's needed for HK movie industry

Hong Kong movies are no longer that great nowadays, they can only have like... a good movie a year.. some thing like that.

This movie has straight forward storyline, not hard to understand and with action from big casts.

It's about how Hong Kong fought against the corruption between 60's and 70's.

It's generally worth a watch - the dialogue was quite funny sometimes. But with two things that they could have been more convincing:

1) One of the ICAC staff (hired later in the mvie) was bullied by an officer in the early part of the movie. And that corrupted officer had eventually become the assistant lead of the ICAC team, respected by the ICAC staff which was bullied by him earlier.
2) It's not quite convincing on how that corrupted officer, can become an efficient ICAC assistant lead - charging against the people whom he acted the corruption with

Other than that, this movie is fun to watch - the setup was quite good to bring back the 60's 70's retro feel.

Rating: 6/10
