Violent but ultimately disappointing Hong Kong crime thriller from John Woo.
Chow Yun Fat plays the lead with a reasonable amount ot charisma, but the plot is incoherent, and some scenes just downright bizarre and baffling, without being surreal which would make it acceptable.
A shame, as I had heard good things about it.
It has to be noted that the version I watched was dubbed, and the voice actors were terrible, which really didn't help.
If you're going to watch this, get hold of the original version with subtitles.
