Yet all Extraordinary Mission does is reveal how stylistically indistinct much Chinese action cinema has become from its Western counterparts.

In what is probably close to 30 minutes of pure intensity, Extraordinary Mission saves the best for last and sends its audience out with their pulses racing. Explosions, motorcycles, car chases, heroic bloodshed, it's all there and then some.

Extraordinary Mission is 100 mins of cat-and-mouse games, until it reaches 20 minutes of full-blown, stunt-filled insanity!

A riveting, exhilarating, white-knuckle crime thriller.
