The film does it's best to balance the drama and action, but I think this is it's main area of failure. But, I can't help but wonder how much better this film may have been if Biao was given an on-screen part - I can see many that may have suited in retrospect. And the final fight scene is particularly brutal and snappy. Yuen Biao, as action-director, does a great job. Chan here is a brilliant dramatic actor, and it took Sammo to get it out of him I suppose. This moment, with it's heart-wrenching display of frustration, anger, and love is as memorable as any of the fight scenes in the film. First of all, Sammo direction is usually brilliant and progressive, in this film however, it seems that most of his creative energy went on his character-acting - and I must say, the scene about Jackie's leaving is particularly impressive. This film has all of the ingredients that I look for, but it failed to impress me as much as it might have.

Tat is constantly being called away to help out his brother, and the crime-fighting scenes in the film take a long time to develop. His main occupation though, is looking after his mentally-disabled brother (Dodo, or Do-do), played decently by Sammo himself. This is no 'Police Story' though, and Chan is portrayed as just another member of the squad. 'Long de xin' has Jackie's character (Tat) on the CID (Criminal Investigation Department).
