The crew from PTU returns for Tactical Unit - The Code, the first of five PTU spinoff films that curiously do not bear the PTU name.The Code was directed by Law Wing-Cheong (Hooked on You, Two Become One), and boasts a competent script from Yip Tin-Shing (writer of too many Milkyway productions to mention). Simon Yam, Maggie Siu, and Lam Suet reprise their original roles, and are aided by Teddy Lin Chun as a senior officer, plus various unfamiliar and also familiar faces, many of whom belong to the Milkyway stable of bit players. The themes of The Code are also familiar, echoing the "cops look out for one another" creed explored so stylishly in Johnnie To's award-winning 2003 film.Looks like all of the 5 sequels will be made for TV. Still, I suppose the end results will be better than what happened with the Final Option movies...
