This is a Hong Kong police drama with a difference, this time the fallen angels, the bad-boys and rulers of the underworld are the cops themselves.
Unlike normal action movies, this get's under your skin for another reasin, the cops are all too human, they drink, take drugs and sleep around with prostitutes.
What starts off as a typical setting of Good Cop/Bad cop is turned on it's head, as we the audience soon realise there is no such thing as good and evil in the the underworld of crime; only those willing to follow the rules and those who break them all the time.
Excellent I cannot recommend this enough for anyone who likes intellegence with their chopsocky.
The actual DVD features an interview with the director and two of the actors, nothing really improtant but always nice to have.

Definitely different.
18 April 2002
Format:DVD
This was one of the first movies I saw when I was becoming acquainted with the Hong Kong action genre. This is an incredible, visually-stunning exercise in action. Now, it is not action on the same level as John Woo or Tsui Hark. But this is a great drama and action movie all at the same time. It has graphic violence, language and mild sexuality (as in don't see it for that reason or you'll be disappointed). If you like cop dramas and action films and don't mind reading a movie (though I do enjoy when the dubbing is different than the subtitles), Beast Cops is a great movie.

ONE OF THE BEST
26 Sep 2000
Format:DVD
this is definately one of the best hk films you will ever see. the reason for this is that the script is way better than most hk films. GORDON CHAN did it with first option and know he has done it again. it probaly helped that he had a good group of actors. ANTHONY WONG, MICHEAL WONG, ROY CHEUNG,and SAM LEE all give excellent performances. the story deals with a group of mismatched cops who try to stop a gang of young, out of control triads. the story doesnt sound that new,but, the characterations are where this movie really shines. any fan of hk movies needs to see this film.

Not your typical cop film!
31 July 2000
Format:DVD
This film is not your usual good guys vs. bad guys. Because there is sometimes no difference. Anthony Wong is an outstanding actor. His portrayal of the crooked cop is superb. You feel sorry for him, and hate him at once. Kind of like Chow Yun Fat's role in the Corruptor. It was fascinating to see the characters evolve as thier circumstances changed. I would reccomend this film. Don't expect it to cheer you up however.
