Viewing Notes
First movie of the mind melter is a fun, goofy actioner from Hong Kong that mostly takes place in Russia. Not really a holiday movie but the beginning and end take place around Christmas. Always great to see another Maggie Cheung movie! This is basically a version of Crying Freeman I think? Would love to own a nicely mastered physical release of this.
