Le jour de Noël, une altercation éclate entre jeunes et tourne au drame. Quelques heures plus tard, l'un d'eux est trouvé mort. Le défunt est le fils de Tim, l'un des plus puissants criminels de Hong-Kong. Ce qui semblait au début comme un fait divers, prend des allures de crise sans précédent dans le monde du crime alors que Tim accuse Carl, son rival. (texte officiel du distributeur)

The beginning and the entire daytime part is so incredibly trivial. The creators don’t know what to focus on first, making this a rather boring genre movie that steals motifs from famous Western colleagues. But only up to the point when Christmas-time Hong Kong is hit by a black-out and the streets of Mongkok begin filling with people; then everything suddenly becomes different. Much better. The atmosphere in this part of the movie is simply splendid, and in places hypnotically captivating. Also, interesting things start actually happening and there is an all-over build up to the perfect ending where you will gladly forgive the filmmakers for using a few screenplay crutches that they shamelessly use to help things along. This creates a movie that first lulls you almost to sleep, only to awaken you rudely, suck you in and not let you go.
