Okay Vanness Wu is not a terrible actor, I just think his acting is inadequate for such a fierce character who's kicking butt.  Me?  I thought that while he does have some merit but it's just not enough for me.  In fact I think actress Eva Huang can act better than him. Here's my preferred actor: Ambrose Xu of Wolf could have played the part of Officer Wang better than Vanness Wu for me.  For me, this guy does not only look like retired actor Kazunori Inaba but also he really act really well making him a lot more fit for the role.  During this time, Vic Zhou's actign wasn't that good yet so Ambrose Xu could have done the job during that time at a better pace.

While watching the Dragon Squad movie I thought these two could have really been utilized by Daniel Lee namely... Yuen Suet acted by Eva Huang Yuet acted by Maggie Q I really thought it would have been nice if Yuet's death was caused by Yuen Suet herself.  But too bad Yuen Suet was killed by the script TOO EARLY for me.  I mean Eva Huang's one of those badass hotties I enjoy watching and it was a shame that she was killed so soon in this film which is making me give a HUGE MINUS on this film.  I would have wanted the death of Yuet to be done by Yuen Suet herself and she survives for the end while they have all the shooting attack against each other.  But sigh, such wasted potential!  To be honest, how I wish this film was written by Jeff Lau (the writer of So Close) instead!  If anybody should have killed by Yuet, it should have been any of the lower males or females in the police force we don't know about and if anybody should have kille...

So far only two F4 members were really able to film some police action. I'd like to comment on them: Vanness Wu first had his police script in Dragon Squad. So far I didn't enjoy much of his character being poorly developed (in my opinion) and it was more on chases, chases and more chases. But that time, Vic Zhou didn't show much improvement then. Vic Zhou starred in a suspense series called "Black and White" with Mark Zhao as his sidekick. He showed more emotion in the script from a zero to a hero type of character. Also, he had a rather impressive fight scene towards the end or how he got flexible with the roles he needed too. I think I like his performance better. :-P

Getting past Sky Runner, Vanness Wu takes the major challenge of being a cop.  I had my thoughts on this film, nice choreography, intense plot but for me, it's not really much.  Vanness Wu's not a terrible performer but he's just really not that good in his role as Officer Wang.  Moving on- I really thought this film had a great beginning but had some very bad stuff in it that I'd like to raise.  So where do I start? Hong Kong's police interpol against the mafia ran by Petros Angelo (Michael Biehn) which I thought was cool but really, the rest were pretty forgettable for me except for the hot chick Yuen Suet (Huang Sheng Yi).  Sammo Hung's character as Kong Long was also forgettable for me as well.  Shawn Yue I never cared about him much either.  This one of Daniel Lee's thrillers but I wonder if I can consider it a real masterpiece or not.  So what's the big deal?  So this Petros guy is SO SICK he even forcibly cuts the ear of a rival maf...
