I have seen lots of hong kong action movies and most of the time, they are terrible. There are some great hong kong action movies that are great such all of john woo's hong kong movie, the first "infernal affair", "city on fire" and others that I can't seem to remember at the moment. And as for "Breaking news" it did not exceed my great movie experience. although the story was good but it could have been better. The story is a fast pace movie which means there are going to be less characters development. It would have been nice if they would expand on the chemistry between the "leader of the heist" & Rebbecca fong and the "leader of the hired killer" & the "leader of the heist". There are lots of shoot out between the villain and the police. It is one of those shoot out that just kills the action of the movie because they make it too unbelievable. for example, one person is shooting another person about 3 or 5 feet from him or her and they missed. It is just to hard to accept that when someone is that close and you missed. If you want to see lots of shoot out action strategy movie but does not expect much then this is the movie for you.
