During a single night in Hong Kong, a police unit tries to recover a lost gun belonging to a colleague, before the gangs find it.
Sinekatalog’s take
Johnnie To's night-long police thriller has a unit hunting a lost gun in Hong Kong's streets before gangsters do. Taut, stylish and darkly comic, with long takes and lovely lighting, it is a cool, rhythmic procedural.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
