A quality crime thriller with great depth. It goes well beyond your typical gun-ho shoot-em-all hk flick but instead goes on to explore the inner emotional struggles and psychological states of the main characters, at the same time reflecting some of the social issues at the time.

very good cinematography and unique in style. Still the story is far too sketchy for my liking and inevitably leaves me scratching my head and saying 'huh??' at the end.
