Invisible Target - 男兒本色



Invisible Target (男兒本色) is a 2007 film out of Hong Kong. It stars Nicholas Tse, Jaycee Chan, Shawn Yue, and Jacky Wu (Wu Jing).

The movie is about 3 cops. All three cops have problems that they are trying to deal with. These three cops are explored a little more in detail at the beginning of the film. The three cops are played by Nicholas, Jaycee, and Shawn. Jacky Wu plays Tien, the leader of a mercenary group from China. They were part of a heist in the past and have come to Hong Kong to claim their half of the heist. They are ruthless and begin catching the attention of the cops. The three cops all have run ins with Tien's group and are all hurt badly.

Somehow they all get stuck in the police station and that's where the fun starts. Lots of people of dying and lots of fighting.

The movie features lots and lots of fighting. In some cases, the fighting is quite absurd. But its HK style and its quite entertaining.

2007 was an excellent year for HK cinema and this was one of those films.
