　　内容讲述1841年英国商人舒狄克(大班)带领舰队，前往中国通商，以鸦片换取茶叶，丝绸及翠玉，煞而遭受满清朝廷禁制，舒舰长于是带领舰队南下占领香港，开辟成为商港，并与其它商人展开勾心斗角的竞赛。但人算不如天算，一场飓风令人他的命运急剧扭转。

A pilots pregnant wife is killed by a band of thugs who break into their home. The gang is caught and sent off to prison. Wanting to see that "justice" is done the pilot stages his own death and then gets himself arrested so he can hunt the killers in the prisons into which they have been sent.                                                                                                                                            To be honest the story is a bit clichéd with the plot taking some obvious paths once things are set in motion. Normally that would be a bad thing but here the film works largely thanks to a very good cast of mostly unknown actors. The stand out is Andy Serkis, best known for playing Gollum in the Lord of the Rings movies. Here he's the head of the nasty band and his vileness seems to drip off the screen. If you want to know why Peter Jackson chose him to play the tortured creature in the big budgeted epic look no further. Serkis isn't on screen much until the final portion of the film, but his evilness in the early part of the film hangs over everything like a dark cloud.                                                                                                                                            Definitely worth a look for those who want an undemanding thriller, and those who want to see what Andy Serkis is capable of when he isn't doing just a computer generated character. 6.5 out of 10.
