Storyline

The Thai government hires a group of Chinese mercenaries to capture a powerful drug lord from the Golden Triangle. The mercenaries manage to capture the drug lord, but soon find themselves pursued by his forces, and the forces of a bitter Thai officer. The Chinese mercenaries are vastly outnumbered, and as their numbers begin to dwindle, their desperation pulls them into a corner as their enemies close in on them.

Very brutal war/action film from John Woo.
12 November 2001 | by (Chyby, Poland) – See all my reviews

This film is amazing.It's loaded with extreme violence-thousands of bullets fly and the blood flows freely!Again the action scenes are breathtaking and the violence is truly brutal-stabbings,impalings and head explosions.One of the best John Woo's films he ever created.Check it out and enjoy the violence!
