The Fatal Raid

An ultraviolent cops vs. gangsters bloodbath leaves casualties on both sides. Fast forward twenty years as surviving team member Madam Fong (Jade Leung) leads a new squad across borders to pursue reckless young anarchists terrorizing Macao. An apparition from that fatal day falls into the fray, bringing everything full circle for a serpentine and explosive final confrontation. With badass modern women warriors at the forefront, director Jacky Lee effortlessly exudes the hyperbolic stylings of classic Hong Kong action, bringing back the irrepressible ‘girls with guns’ subgenre in full bombastic force.
