Reviews (2)
A Hong Kong fight movie full of freaky characters (the bothersome nymphomaniac, Virgin, and the gay bad guy who would most like to get the hero into bed) that draws you in despite its average story. Ringo Lam pays his respects to the American B-movie and bathes it in blood. Chow Yun-Fat gives an unbelievable performance. A blues guitar enchantingly roars and bullets ricochet just as the hero needs. Add to that some one-liners and a lethal woman, and you're all set. "Doing business is like taking a shit; it has to go smoothly."

A very good, but also very rough film, which lacks only a little more original story to get the maximum rating.
