His first Police Story movies were heartfelt with justice and morals, I never thought he had any more of that acting in him, but he proved me wrong with this movie, it was completely emotional from the point of him losing his comrades in the force to him trying his best to save his girlfriend, The story is about a gang of rich kids who have brought heavy arms off the interent, and have begun a game of robbing banks, only not to get away, but instead to hunt down all the arriving police and to kill them for points, their actions are then changed into a online computer game, which leads to hints of their next hit, Jackie the Super cop was over confident and loses all his comrades to their traps, and ends up an alcoholic, till a young officer appears and gets him back on his feet, to put and end to them
