Another so-so thriller from Hong Kong, one with a fresh and interesting premise but lacking in sympathetic characters or decent direction to drive the story forward. What we're left with is a tale involving a murky team of assassins, working due to some past tragedy, whose method is to orchestrate bizarre 'accidents' to take down their victims. When one of their own number is killed, they begin an investigation into what exactly happened. This film boasts a good cast and some good set-piece accidents which are more than a little reminiscent of the blood-and-thunder of the FINAL DESTINATION franchise, but the rest is lacking. Louis Koo plays it stony-faced for the most part, although old-time comedy actor Stanley Fung is very good; the ubiquitous Lam Suet also makes an appearance.
