Quite unknown in our lands, yet a very significant crime-thriller piece of Hong Kong cinematography and one of Tarantino’s main sources of inspiration for Reservoir Dogs. Some scenes, especially in the second half of the flick, were almost paraphrased shot by shot by Quentin. After A Better Tomorrow, Chow Yun-fat once again plays an incredibly tough role, this time as a secret cop infiltrating a gang of robbers (including the charming criminal Danny Lee). At the beginning, the film is perhaps hampered by a lengthy character exposure. Still, Ringo Lam frequently delights his audience with iconic action, sometimes even surprising us with some unexpected blood and morbidity (stepping into the grave) and a memorable finale that keeps all the fans of Hong Kong cinematography glued to their seats.
