'You're too old for this,' they told him. But in the neon-drenched, rain-slicked streets of 1988 Hong Kong, age is just a number. A veteran cop, partnered with a brash rookie, finds their clash of methods is the only thing that can take down a ruthless drug syndicate. This action-crime thriller blends explosive gunfights with sharp comedic timing, creating a gritty yet darkly humorous portrait of law and disorder. It’s a classic tale of an unlikely duo where experience meets recklessness, and the only way out is through a hail of bullets and one-liners.
