Synopsis:
The Japanese Red Army is offered a huge sum of money to assassinate a religious leader who is to visit Singapore. Travelling on the same flight as the religious leader is B (Andy Lau), a Hong Kong gangster and his girlfriend. When the plane lands, the terrorists besiege the plane and injure both the religious leader and B's girlfriend. Both victims have, coincidentally, the same rare blood type, type P, and the search is on to find people in Singapore with the matching blood type. The terrorists try to prevent those with the compatible blood type from reaching the hospital and B, trying to save his girlfriend, finds himself for once on the same side as the authorities. Will they find a compatible blood donor in time? |

Review:
Fairly ordinary action piece with a less than credible premise, made more interesting by the presence of Andy Lau. Director Wong Jing does some terrible things to young Andy, including throwing him through a plate glass window, blowing things up near him, and generally treating him as he oughtn'ta be treated. Worth it for curiosity value only.5 blood types out of 10 by Alison Jobling back to the top
