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.

This is good-ish.
The action is nice. The story is not really existing it’s a pretty basic plot. There are some weird side story’s that I don’t get why they’re here. I mean the gambling part was fine gut this really didn’t needed these sex scenes.
The best part of this is actually was the great perforce by the kid. He was really good.
But it a really good decision from Woo using his style on gangster movies after this. There his style work way better.

Solid low budget action. Plenty of explosions and some good performances. I reallly liked the kid.
Terrible music though.
