Fresh from the success of New Police Story last year,
director Benny Chan returns with another action extravaganza featuring
plenty of guns, bombs and chase sequences.

Aaron Kwok plays a police officer trying to gather evidence to
put a money-laundering tycoon (Gallen Lo) behind bars. He becomes
attracted to the wife of the scummy lawyer (Ekin Cheng) who works
the tycoon, because she reminds Aaron of his girlfriend who disappeared
a decade ago. The characters become entangled in a web of mystery
and deceit.

Unfortunately, Divergence lives up to its title a little
too much. Unlike New Police Story, which told a complex
but coherent story, Divergence has too many plot twists
and details that do anything but converge. Watch it for the stars
and some nifty action sequences, but nothing else.
