MCT:April 14, 2008Looks dirty. The movie poster is dirty and it's full of dirty looking characters. Take a bath dudes.

MCT:April 10, 2008An ill-treated young man is sent out to act assassin but becomes the prey for the most sadistic cop in Hong Kong, a cop that just doesn't give up until he's caught what he wants.
Disturbing, brutal, unrealistic, erratic, I couldn't really pinpoint where the whole thing went wrong but I'm guessing it was somewhere around the part when the main character got smashed over the head with a stone without going "offline" for a minute. I don't think that even the writers of this thing knew where they wanted it to end up. It goes from brutal, to really brutal but then suddenly it changes completely and you get some lovey-dovey moments only to go back to brutal by the end.
I liked the assassin character but that's mainly because I saw a whipped puppy where they wanted to have a brute, the cop had his moments too but didn't keep his the characteristics I appreciated further into the movie.
No, see Danny the Dog instead, much better in all ways. -
MCT:February 27, 2008A grim, disturbing film about a dehumanized Cambodian hitman that crosses paths with a bitter, unbalanced young cop in Hong Kong.
The film is extremely violent, but the violence isn't glamorous and there's more going on in the story than just a body count. Both lead parts are extremely well played (by Edison Chen and Sam Lee), and both are given reasons for the things they do, however horrible.
This is not a martial arts movie; while there are some fights, they tend to be more vicious, dirty streetfights than anything, so don't go into this expecting a kung-fu flick. It's not really about the fights.
Definitely not for everyone, but for those in the mood for a gritty no-holds-barred film may like it. -
MCT:January 20, 2008seen the film... its very realistic about taking revenge... how far people can go just to take revenge... the fight scenes are A-okay! cool movie!

Mesmerizing and depressing, but good. Don't go into this expecting some violent action epic - there's more social commentary here than cop drama. It's a little disjointed in spots and shifts gears, but manages to bookend okay. As other reviewers comment - the film starts out explosive and fast and then just fizzles out slowly.

Bleak and moody, this is a very atmospheric movie that follows a very basic plot of a cop trying to locate a hitman. There are a few sidetracked moments with both the hero and the villian's backstories, but overall the style sells everything quite well.
Worth a look. -

Good Cat III film with great performances from the leads. There are some questionable scenes and character moments, but as a gritty mano e mano fight to the death film this is great
-
MCT:November 23, 2007The movie starts off strong and makes you believe it will live up to the intensity and violence the movie suggests. But a love story thrown in slows the pacing and excitement down. A movie with potential becomes just another average movie.
-
MCT:November 21, 2007Starts well, then it gets mushy and melodramatic as it progress until the stupidity of certain situations and characters sinks the whole thing.
Very solid direction mind you, Edison Chen sort of gets into the character, but Sam Lee is the obvious scene stealer here. The guy doesn't need much acting skills for the role, he already looks like a creep. -

What a disappointment. Some great cringe-violence is laced into a story that isn't sure of its real focus, totally losing itself by the ending. A great pity considering I saw so much potential and interesting ideas that were simply executed poorly.

This is one of the most unflinchingly brutal films I have ever seen.
I have to see this film again in order to give it a fair review, but I can tell you right now that this film is light in plot and heavy in violence. If you like vengeance flicks or Chan-wook Park, you'll like this one. It's Chan-wook minus the plot and subtle character development.
