A government agency known as Department Six is investigating the circulation of counterfeit coins when they discover that another secret group known as the Divine Constabulary are taking over the case. So Department Six operative Coldblood (Chao) is sent undercover to work for the Divine Constabulary in order to bring them down from within, but finds this hard to do as his grows to like his new colleagues.

This is a fun-filled, action-packed, cartoony movie that remains engrossing in spite of its sometimes confusing plot. I couldn’t quite understand why there was a need to devalue the currency when the bad guy was simply going to resurrect an army of the dead to overthrow the city. Aside from the odd plot hole here and there, this energetic film is entertaining from start to finish.
