Viewing Notes
Finished this from last night. Basically The Godfather set in 1980s Hong Kong amid the Triads. Chow Yun-Fat gets pulled back in after the death of his father… you know the rest.
Some great action flourishes, all of which look like they hurt. Love seeing the Blue Jean Monster in a substantial role. And he’s on the poster art! (Shing Fui-On)
Neat to see babyface Robin Shou for a moment.
