After his short-fuse temper gets him into trouble once too often, Sgt. Bill Chu finds himself demoted to the Emergency Unit squad of beat cops, where he must command a mismatched group of subordinates. However, Chu doesn't let his team's perceived limitations prevent him from taking them into direct combat with psychotic criminals who have pulled a multimillion-dollar robbery at Interpol headquarters. Big Bullet is filled with the sort of spectacular gunplay, crisply staged chase sequences and hair raising suspense that brought the former British colony's cinema international attention. Amidst all of the well-choreographed and fast-paced chaos, it also displays a human center, thanks to a fine cast headlined by revered character actor Lau Ching-Wan, who shines as the hard-nosed, determined hero who won't let the system or a pair of brazen opponents stop him from putting an end to the mayhem.
