Police
office Tung (Anthony Wong in an award winning role) walks a thin line
between law enforcement and Triad brotherhood. When Tung gets a new
partner, Michael Cheung, his routine day becomes much more complicated
and dangerous.
This is one of the five best Hong Kong movies of all time. Directors
Gordon Chan (FIST
OF LEGEND, PAINTED
SKIN, THE
FOUR) and Dante Lam (UNDERCOVER
HIDDEN DRAGON, SNIPER)
won top honors at the 1999 HK Film Awards, as did Anthony Wong and the
film itself. Perhaps the best thing about this movie is - in fact -
Anthony Wong. This may be his best performance. He also won this prestigious
award for UNTOLD
STORY back in 1993 but he has also headlined an incredible string
of exceptional films over the past three decades including EBOLA
SYNDROME, INFERNAL
AFFAIRS, LOVE
TO KILL, Johnnie To's EXILED
and the recent SLEEP
CURSE. An extensive interview with Anthony Wong can be found
in ASIAN
CULT CINEMA magazine #30.
