Leave it to Johnnie To to make something good out of what seemingly seems like nothing. He shows once again why he is one of my favorite directors.The film plays out like any other Johnnie To Hong Kong crime drama. Slow paced, minimal dialogue, and little to no action. Soun

I highly enjoyed the pacing of this movie, although some may find it to be extremely slow. I also enjoyed the very unusual music, especially the main theme, which some may find to be very unfitting towards what is accompanying it onscreen. The lighting is probably the best part o... read more
While not my favorite Johnny To film, still better than most, just not as good as I expect from him. As usual, it is the typical Milkyway cast and again Yam shows why I love him so much. He doesn't even have to have dialogue to show his talents.
Story wise it isn't that deep or ... read more
moody and dark (literally)..very simple story executed well..same usual suspects you find in other To movies, acting first rate and will hold your interest..the movie seems to slow down in spots but definitely worth a watch
Not your typical police drama/action film. Johnny to gives this quite the twist.
Great, stylistic and very dramatic along with being action filled Johnnie To film. A great filmmaker.
Strange really strange. Beautifully but don't ever try to really understand what is going on. I wouldn't recommand it but if one night you want to submerge yourself is the wet atmosphere of Honk Kong by night and experience senseless violence... that's your movie.

It's an oddity in some ways, and its brief appearance in cinemas can only be the precursor to a DVD release, which is how it will mostly be seen. It's a smart, sharp piece of work, however big the scr... Full Review
Johnny To favours atmosphere above plotting and though it looks tremendous it won't keep you on the edge of your seat Full Review
The point of the exercise is really the unfolding of sundry edgy night-time encounters and action set-pieces, each constructed with To's customary patience, while his vision of Hong Kong after dark ex... Full Review
A conclusão interessante não compensa os 80 minutos necessários para contar um fiapo de história aborrecida.
...all the moody cinematography in the world can't disguise the inherently dull screenplay... Full Review
Fresh situations, haunting long takes, and a final showdown that is much more interesting than anything in Tarantino's Kill Bill make this film ... purely enjoyable. Full Review
