Of all the great Johnny To / Lau Ching Wan collaboration this is my favourite. Reason: Patrick Yau directs and Tony Leung Chiu Wai co-star with a performance that gives many academy award winner a run for the money. Think of "The Usual Suspects" set in Macao and you get an impression of the tene atmosphere in this film. It's a violent world where nobody can be sure to survive the next day. Although Leung's character is quite clever and uncrupulous for a cop he's just not clever enough for the intricate set-up that he is pushed into by a mysterious man in the background. The plot-twist at the end is even more surprising IMO than the end of "Expect The Unexpected", Yau's other great film.A must see for all fan of hardboiled crime stories (and for all people with good eyes, because the Milkyway- subtitles are tiny!)
