roadwarrior	post #1  on July 23, 2004 - 3:49 AM PDT   Modern Asian action genre, (gang violence/undercover police?) released perhaps 2-3 years ago. It's been bugging me that I never took down the title when I saw the preview. Non-stop action. Fantastic camera angles (I think one camera followed a guy falling out of a window after he was shot) was what I remember most of all. I KNOW GC has the title, I just don't know what it is. Wish I had more to go on, but the visuals from that preview still haunt me today. Much Obliged. ~ Roadie.

The battle in the apartment complex is what's bringing it all back. It's already in my queue as I write this. Thanks for your help.
