Viewing Notes
To celebrate the announcement of the City in Fire release this summer, I watched Ringo Lam’s Prison on Fire, the total bro hangout movie set in a prison. This is Tony Leung Ka-Fai‘s movie but Chow Yun-Fat is there to steal every scene with his incredible charm and charisma.
Always love when Blue Jean Monster appears in these films even for a bit part. Will be nice to get a polished, clean PQ release for these movies.
Can it be a crime movie if the crime is committed in prison?
