...doesn't let up after that first action scene. Once his well-armed criminals lay waste to what seems to be half the police force, they take refuge and hostages in one of the city's anonymous apartment towers.

The important thing, reasons one top officer (Kelly Chen), isn't just catching the bad guys; the cops also have to put on an impressive show for the legions of cameramen and photographers staking out the crime scene if the public...

After he was shot and we almost lost him, he lay on his hospital bed staring at the ceiling and praying. He told me that he realized he couldn't pray just for himself, that it wouldn't be right, and that he also had to pray for John Hinckley. Hinckley's parents sent him a note and he wrote a nice one back to them...
