Not, as I expected, a thriller, but more a drama, as it focuses less on the hunt for the assassin and more on his plight. Falling between the two genres it seems a bit unsatisfying, though ultimately its worth watching.

This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Wong gok hak yau (One Night in Mongkok)" !
