I saw this last night - worth a view and I guess a few of you might like it.

Quote: "This Hong Kong hit thriller plays like a cross between the films of John Woo and Wong Kar-Wai: Woo-style bullet ballets are infused with emotional weight via the kind of attention to the inner state of the protagonist associated with the films of Wong. That wonderful Woo juxtaposition between hero and villain is complicated not merely by Yan (Tony Leung) and Ming (Andy Lau) being on opposite sides of the law, but more dramatically by the fact that both men want to be free from the thankless roles forced upon them."

This has been out on (R3 I think) DVD for a while, but my local indie cinema had it on a couple of months ago so it must have had a proper release here.

I really enjoyed it, did indeed remind me of early John Woo stuff.

I saw it a while back, top film. The only bad thing was I with a girl who didn't like it. Pestering me all film.
