HKL were kind enough to send this to me. The main story follows a cruise liner's security guard as he attempts to foil the plans of the criminals hijakcking the ship. The movie plays very much like a cross between Die Hard and Under Siege with the body count of Commando.

On first looks, the transfer, seems quite dissapointing, especially for a 7 year old HK movie. Maybe HKL's worse to date.

The Bey Logan commentary is very entertaining, he is joined by the movie's lead actress. Together they form an excellent double act, with many annecdotes and humorous moments.

I will be watching the movie again in the next day or two, and the review should be up sometime over the weekend.

As has been mentioned, it is similar to a Die Hard kind of plot.

Ngai Sing plays the main hero, and is an extremely accomplished martial artist (especially shown in films like License to Steal).
Part of the Yuen Wo-ping stunt group for a number of years - and this film is directed by none other. However, the fights are not as long and drawn out as many of Wo-ping's others.

Don't expect Tiger Cage 2, but it is an above average actioner, and better than Seagal came up with in Under Siege!

p.s
Ngai Sing was also supposed to play Jet's part in LW4, but Jet was drafted in to start his US career. He will also be playing the role Jet was asked to play in the new Matrix sequel - and if it goes well, may become just as famous in the West. He is younger, and a more accomplished Stunt man - but lacks some of Jet's Screen presence.
