About

If you like gritty Hong Kong action with big emotions and friendship under pressure, this fits, especially if you enjoyed The Killer or Hard Boiled; Not for you if you avoid harsh war violence and relentlessly downbeat stories.

Pros: intense action bursts; heavy emotional drama; strong performances | Cons: very brutal violence; uneven, crowded plot; bleak, exhausting tone
