View all categoriesOur take
A retired tracking expert rejoins Macau police to hunt a slick thief crew in a long Mandarin action thriller. Sustained gun and knife threat, stabbing and shooting with clear bloody detail and some strong swearing. One stretch involves an attempted child kidnapping. Fine with a parent from MA 15+. Younger teens who dislike bloody crime action should wait.
Uplifting themes
Teamwork, mentoring and persistence matter against clever criminals A retired tracker mentors a younger officer and stands up for the team
