Johnnie To creates characters and a story that you cannot look away from. Great themes that make you question your own choices.
A very dark HK crime film that highlights the inner workings of the Triad — pacing is a bit off at times but it’s very enjoyable
Interesting subject and themes, but I wish more happened. Bit of a letdown.
It feels more like a collection of scenes than one cohesive story, but as a gangster story, it’s still engaging. Love the ending.
So close to being "good" but it wasn't enough for me
Alright, if you want to just have a movie on that you just have as background... this is perfect.
Watch this just so you can be set up for the masterpiece that is Election 2

Good drama and action
Enjoyable, but not outstanding
