And Patrick Yau’s second film didn’t like it, albeit more dynamically than the first. It is wise to admire the quality of shootings in Hong Kong militants, the blessing of the level set by To and Wu is so high that it obliges you to something. In any case, he is not surpassed by Johnny To, who again acted as a producer.
After watching two Yau films, I had the impression that the producers presented the material to him on the principle: moderately interesting, but we do not want to shoot ourselves. In any case, such an emotionless film from Johnny To I do not remember. All the characters are equally vile, cruel, there is no lumen, so the intonation of the film is closer to Kitano’s “Lawlessness”.
Plus, staging scenes of massacres from the life of gangsters somehow inorganically combines cruelty with thrash. I'm a vomiting villain, who was punched in the face so many times and shot so many times, it struck me with survivability. The shooting scene in the mirror attic is unoriginal. The music is eclectic, many not only blues excerpts, but also disco. Tony Leun didn't overwork.
