What is it about?
Action drama starring Lau Ching Wan as a hot tempered cop whose honesty leads to his ill fated transfer to an heavy duty patrolling squad, the "Emergency Unit". Lau now has to lead this new team of four diverse cops as they face criminal gangs that are causing havoc across Hong Kong.
Summary
This film would not even be noticed if it weren't for the large number of recognisable cast (See "other famous works) on display. On it's day, this film is a hit until you compare the director's other superior effort "New Police Story".
Big Bullet has aged a bit if you compare the movies and should only be recommended for serious HK cinema fans. Although slightly nostalgic, I find it entertaining, action packed, a feel good movie that should not be completely dismissed.
