Nostalgia trip to early 80's Hong Kong John Woo stylised shootouts. Mimics the pacing with long sections of thoughtful pondering interspersed with frenetic gun-ballets. Fortunately keeps the acting and soundtrack histrionics to a minimum. Guilty pleasure.

If Sergio Leone had lived to this day, witnessing the economics of filming in Asia rather than in the now-expensive tourist havens of Italy and Spain, his output might've looked like Johnnie To's Exiled. The film i...( read more)
This is a lesson for Steven Sodenberg and his lazy "Ocean's..." flicks. When you are doing a movie that has zero plot, make the characters actually fun and interesting to watch. The first time we see Anthony Wong, Suet Lam, Francis Ng, Nick Cheung and Roy Cheung all together in ...( read more)
You know why I love Asian cinema? Because it's so friggin cool! I mean, take this film for instance: an action-drama with humourous undertones, packed with style and also with what I can only deem Sergio Leone influences in the music as well as the construction of the characters....( read more)

I'd put [Johnnie] To's Exiled into the category of Hong Kong movies that even people who think they don't care about Hong Kong movies should see. full review
If you've never seen a Johnnie To crime picture, Exiled is a simple, stylish, and utterly delightful introduction. full review
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Fong juk (Exiled)" !
