ebiros2 The copy I got says Young and Dangerous 8, but I think this is misleading because there's no connection to the story, although cast includes Karen Mok thats reminiscent of Young and Dangerous series.This movie actually is better than any of the Young and Dangerous series movie. The story, the characters, are better fleshed out, and don't rely on dumb antics from any of the casts.This movie also has the best performance by Ekin Chen that I've ever seen. I like the story, the presentation, and the acting. Casting I think was also well selected in this movie.More intelligently made, and story driven than any of the Young and Dangerous series movies, although the overall shell of the situation resembles that series closely.A great movie that's worth seeing.7.5/10

ichocolat Ekin Cheng, plays as Brother Lung (Cool Dragon) in this film directed by Jingle Ma. He used to be a triad member, reformed after ho got out of prison in Thailand after a botched kidnapping attempt. His father died when he was in prison, and could attend his funeral. He decided that once he got out of prison, he will turn a new leaf.After he got out of prison, he did turn a new leaf. He worked as a busboy at his friends restaurant. However, his old friends from the triads and clans came to him and asked him to join them again. He told them he was no longer interested in joining the triad.One day, a patron brought along a little child came to eat at his restaurant. And she left the little kid at the restaurant at left him there. Lung called her, only to be told that the kid is his child! Is is a heart-wrenching film, with emotions running high, especially the emotions shown by Ekin Cheng. He developed a very convincing persona of a person that has truly reformed, and has become a humane person, and of a father who protects and care for his son.Overall, this is a fantastic HK fare. The action scenes was nicely choreographed. And the storyline is also very good, original and was very touching. The dynamics between Lung and the kid is very good and their performance is a commendable one.Ekin Cheng fans will find this film a masterpiece, and those who have not watched any HK films before, then I'd suggest they start by watching this film first.

flipfan84 "Goodbye, Mr. Cool" is a picture where Ekin Cheng is reformed Triad leader who recently got out of prison. His performance is commendable, not just for his acting but also the few though satisfying action sequences.For fans of Jingle Ma, this is not your typical whimsical and new age Jingle Ma stuff. It is darker, but not to the point of being gritty. This was a definitely well-received picture.
