GEN-X COPS (1999)

MORGAN'S RATING

When Japanese uber-gangster Akatura absconds with a huge cache of explosives, a rebellious trio of police officers (the titular Gen-X Cops) must use their youthful instincts and street smarts to infiltrate his international crime syndicate. Racing against the clock and an army of highly trained global terrorists, the crime-fighting triumvirate must diffuse Akatura's plans before he annihilates Hong Kong.
