Hong Kong has a real talent for fast paced, over the top, no nonsense, crime action thrillers, Crisis Negotiators, being no exception.
Whilst this one starts slowly, it rapid picks up momentum crafting a straightforward story of corrupt police and betrayal whilst throwing in round after round of unrelenting action.
Acting is unsurprisingly, excellent. This film sports a strong cast of veteran Hong Kong acting talent. Production values are high too with polished gun play and car chase scenes, amongst others.
In summary, yet another quality crime action thriller from Hong Kong. For my money, infinitely better, than the woke (DEI) rubbish being churned out by Hollywood. And that's even in spite of the English subtitles.
