Description
An unlikely alliance between rival assassins forms the basis for this uncharacteristically baroque shoot-em-up by director To. The first Milkyway film for which Johnnie To took a directing credit, the film both parodies and revels in the hard-boiled operatics of Hong Kong’s previous action master, John Woo. (35mm, 86min, subtitled)
