Viewing Notes
Back into my not so successful holiday Johnnie To project… 5th film perhaps? Was hoping to have nailed 7 by now. Ah well. Bought this DVD specifically for the project since it wasn’t available thru the usual channels. Good buy as this is a visual treat. For a small film, To really knows how to frame and create some wonderful shots. Story is simple but it works. Nice performances by Simon Yam and the beautiful Kelly Lin.
