In the thrilling triad saga Sworn Brothers, superstars Andy Lau and Cheung Kwok Keung play bloodbrothers who sacrifice themselves to stop the triads. While Lau (Andy Lau) may appear to be a rising enforcer with the triads, he is actually the sworn brother of Cheung (Cheung Kwok Keung), a Royal Hong Kong Police officer who has recently returned from Scotland Yard. Although they work for opposing sides of the law, the friendship between these two guys is unbreakable by time or ideological differences. Is it possible that the brotherhood of these two good guys can correct the wrongs of the underworld? Sworn Brothers is an outstanding triad action-drama in a genre already rife with similar films thanks to the captivating performance of Tung Piu (Jackie Chan's Police Story flicks) as a corrupt cop and the film's many spectacular action sequences. Sworn Brothers nails the action-drama sweet spot in entertaining and violent fashion, with intense melodrama and the type of elevated emotions that characterize many great eighties Hong Kong films.
