evocative, searing crime thriller
Terrific, deeply moving crime thriller starring Andy Lau and Lau Ching Wan.

From the dizzying opening sequence to the extremely satisfying conclusion, this cat and mouser hardly misses a beat.

Johnny To, again working with ace composer Arthur Wong, constructs another operatic actioner that grots in the face of its contemporaries.

To’s images are strong and moving. His cutting, combined with the extraordinary music cues, is exemplary. You are in the hands of a master cinematician.

The two sequences in which Andy Lau “hides” from the cops on a bus by pretending to accompany a lithe beauty (Ruby Wong) are testament to To’s unique directorial skills.

Lau Ching Wan is strong and commanding as the harassed cop while Andy Lau is dynamic as a dying man avenging his father’s death.

This is superb movie-making, only mildly compromised by some bad English dubbing in one scene with criminal Waise Lee.

Nothing new, but entertaining nevertheless
This film is a refreshing change of pace from the mindless Hong Kong triad movies I have grown so tired of. There are no spectacular gun fights. No car chases. And practically minimal action to speak of. The audience is kept in suspense for the most part, though certain aspects of the so called “ploy” by Andy Lau are quite obvious.

The film has been hailed as a departure from the genre of violent triad films, and as an “intelligent” crime film. To an extent, it is. But, to some extent, it still fails the “believability” test. One can hardly picture any triad member to be dumb enough to not see through the female disguise of Andy Lau in a second. It also seemed to have fallen for the “if someone was seriously ill, the said someone will be coughing up copious amounts of blood regularly” thing Chinese films seem to go for all the time.

The subtle relationship between the two lead characters is a refreshing change.

All in all an enjoyable film, even though the concept is not new and there are few surprises. >
