Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Yaroslav Zaitsev (yarik83) I am not a newcomer to Asian films. If anything I enjoy them a lot more than most Hollywood flicks because they still adhere to same principle which is telling the story... a believable story. We do not see your typical unlimited budget showing throughout the movie but spirit of the movie is not about that. In not so many words as synopsis says it is a story about cops trying to do the right thing while walking ethical boundaries. What made it confusing is somewhat jumpidy jump approach by movie directors. Unless you really pay attention it is hard to figure out what just happened. We have the bad guys... OK those are easy to recognize but then there are three groups of good guys and there is little distinction between who is who. From what I can gather I think there were 2 swat teams one of whom quit police force and tried to help their injured friend. I was a little disappointed in the fact that there was less swat tactics than you would expect. It was as if a bunch of guys who only went through 1 year of police academy tried to take matters into their own hands. I just did not feel the experience that should have come with well trained swat team and when there was a well trained swat team it was just a glimpse in entire movie. All in all I am giving this film a 5 because it is probably well worth watching on a nice rainy day but this does not have the polished film like some of its other genre counterparts with similar budgets.

Libretio HIT TEAM (Chong Zhuang Jing Cha)Aspect ratio: 1.85:1Sound format: Dolby DigitalMembers of an elite police squad investigate a series of raids on an underground Triad bank, carried out by rogue officers to fund medical treatment for a colleague (Chin Kar-lok) who was injured in the line of duty.Minor league crime drama, toplined by rising star Daniel Wu as the team leader torn between devotion to duty and compassion for his quarry's altruistic motives. Unfortunately, Wu is much too young for the role, and he allows himself to be upstaged by co-star Alex To (SKYLINE CRUISERS) as the wayward cop prepared to sacrifice everything for his beloved friend (veteran actor/director Chin). Action specialist Dante Lam (JIANG HU: THE TRIAD ZONE, THE TWINS EFFECT, etc.) overcomes the limitations of a meager budget to fashion a series of dynamic set-pieces, though he relies heavily on the combined efforts of cinematographer Tony Cheung and editor Chan Kei-hop to shape the material accordingly. Like so many HK movies before it, HIT TEAM is tinged with melancholy, as good men are forced to sublimate their law-abiding instincts for the greater good, regardless of the consequences, and the movie is strengthened considerably by this emotional undercurrent.(Cantonese dialogue)

NIXFLIX-DOT-COM One of the few action films from Hong Kong in 2001 that went mostly ignored. Despite the cast of mostly pop idols (a sure sign that a film will, in a word, be "lame"), HIT TEAM works as an action film and nothing more. The story needs some sort and is rather predictable, not to mention being a bit cheesy, but the film's superior action sequences save it from Hong Kong oblivion.Of nose is a couple of gunfights where director Dante Lam channelled Michael Mann ala HEAT. HIT TEAM is one of recent Hong Kong action films that have started to break the mold of what a "Hong Kong action film" is. The gunfight is now more realistic, which translates into sheer excitement.Still, HIT TEAM does have some big problems. Of note is the storyline, which is too formulaic. Also, the movie boasts some of the worst English subtitles known to man. Truly, truly horrible. But the whole thing is worth it just for the thrilling action.7 out of 10.

good_will_hunting good film making dante lam directs good actors in an incredible explosion of action... the script is not bad at all and some scenes (especially the robbery) are totally beautiful... good stuff
