Plot

Teddy Chen spins this Mission Impossible variation featuring international heartthrob Takeshi Kaneshiro. Crack members of the Available Tactical Mercenaries group, Jackel (Kaneshiro), Cash (Jordan Chan), Sam (Charlie Yeung), and Titan (Ken Wong), are coerced into performing dark deeds for the Hong Kong government. Their mission is to steal some U.S. dollar printing plates which Britain's M-15 swiped from an Iranian syndicate ring and has plans to use themselves. With the help of their computer whiz cohort Phoenix (Theresa Lee), their assignment goes off without a hitch. Unfortunately, the Hong Kong government double-crosses them by planting a bomb in a briefcase housing some incriminating information about their group and making off with the plates while the group reel from the blast. Soon Jackel and company are heading to Budapest to get the plates and clear their name. ~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide
