My Though:
Is it actually a happy good ending? Open ending?
The flashback from Hung & Li @ the ending was actually a good thing to place @ the end. Because so we know what happened till them before.

I really want to see how good Nick is in this serie!
He won many awards for this role so was very curious!
He's way better to play a bad guy.
He was fabulous in here as a villain aka kidnapper!
But I also can say about Nicholas.
I realize that he's very suitable to play a cop!
This is not the first movie he is!!
Nice work of child Wong Suet Yin as Ting Ling



This year, 2010, Stool Pigeon aka Beast Stalker 2: Informant is coming
It's a prequel!
Different story and some remove and new cast
Kwai Lun Mei, Deep Ng & Lu Yi are new & Zhang Jin Chu is out

Summary:
A traffic accident changed their lives forever.

In capturing wanted criminal Zhang Yidong, Sergeant Tong Fei was involved in a gunfight and car accident that put the criminal in a coma. But in the process he also crippled an fellow officer, and mistakenly shot dead the elder daughter of public prosecutor and single mother Gao Min. Unable to handle the guilt, Tong Fei succumbs to a fog of pain. Gao Min, meanwhile, pours all her love and attention to her younger daughter Ling.

Three months later, the criminal Zhang Yidong awakens from his coma. Gao Min, who had been working hard on bringing him to justice, insists he stand trial immediately
