About
You’ll like Fallen Angels if you enjoy dreamy, neon-soaked stories about love and loneliness in Hong Kong, especially if you liked Chungking Express or Days of Being Wild; Not for you if you want a straightforward, consistently involving plot.
Pros: mesmerizing night atmosphere; stylish late-night mood; romantic themes | Cons: uneven character connection; darker than expected; some plots feel tedious
