a police action film about the united efforts of my country's public security agencies in the 1990s to combat illegal and criminal activities and uphold social justice. In the 1990s, a small city in the south named Binhai suffered a series of heinous and brutal robberies. Xu Zhengyang, an upright police officer from the north, came to Binhai to support Song Hai, the local criminal investigation team leader, in solving the case. The gangster group headed by Zhuang Zhiqiang, who was arrogant in their abilities and brutal attributes, each gave full play to their strengths. After a battle of wits and courage, the two finally annihilated the gangster group headed by Zhuang Zhiqiang in one fell swoop.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is pure 'main melody' cinema—state-funded propaganda celebrating police heroism, common in China's film industry since the 2010s.
Collin Chou (Zhuang Zhiqiang) fought Jet Li and Donnie Yen in his prime—here he plays a 90s gang boss in a movie that cost less than one Matrix stunt.
