You can see why so many people, especially in HK, loved this film. The heroes are cool bad guys, criminals for sure but also with a code of honour. That's unlike the other criminals who are just pretty evil and uncool. There are a lots of fast cars, faster chicks and violence, lots and lots of violence.
The swagger is what makes this, and makes the main characters played by Ekin Cheng and Jordan Chan so likeable. They might be the bad guys, but you want to be in their gang. This was a hit in HK which spawned a number of decent sequels and even a prequel that was pretty good. But the original is the best.
