{{TOC limit|2}}
==Plot==
The film follows a series of encounters of a group of patrolling [[Police Tactical Unit (Hong Kong)|Police Tactical Unit]] troopers during one night, which starts off when the patrol-team tries to help a sergeant of the District Anti-Triad Squad of the Hong Kong Police Force, Lo Sa, to retrieve his lost service-issue [[revolver]] after he was assaulted by a group of [[Triad (underground society)|triad]] members.

While the final shootout sequence of the film takes place in [[Canton Road]], To reportedly said that "if there was a single location where he would have wanted to stage a gunfight battle, it was [[Cameron Road]], but he could not get permission from the police to do it". The sequence was actually shot in [[Ap Lei Chau]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Teo |first=Stephen |author-link= |date=2007 |title=Director in Action: Johnnie To and the Hong Kong Action Film |url=https://cup.columbia.edu/book/978-962-209-839-8/director-in-action/reviews |location= |publisher=[[Hong Kong University Press]] |pages=128, 129, 264 |isbn=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121221223307/https://cup.columbia.edu/book/978-962-209-839-8/director-in-action/reviews |archive-date=21 December 2012 }}</ref>
