and injustice of war.
Powerful, sweeping and uncompromising, iconic
director John Woo pulls out all the stops to deliver a firm
of unforgettable intensity and emotional gravity, that is

This movie is definitely one of John Woo's standout
films of his long career. It features Tony Leung (Infernal
Affairs), Waise Lee and Jacky Cheung on blistering form as
three friends who flee to Saigon during the Vietnam war and
try to make money from selling illegal goods, but soon are
forced to make a choice based upon loyalty, friendship or
wealth. Good action (not as stylish as 'The Killer') but is
more realistic and brutal. Simon Yam also stars as Luke, a
Eurasian hitman who helps the three make their money. Not
for the faint hearted.
