( The time is 1998. The setting is Macau. Every living soul jumps at every chance to make quick money before the Portuguese colony ushers in a new era under the Chinese rule. For the jaded hit men, they wonder where this journey will end. Against this background of fin-de-siècle malaise come two hit men from Hong Kong sent to take out a renegade member trying to turn over a new leaf with his wife and newborn baby. They soon find themselves in the throes of a dilemma when two of their former associates also show up, intent on thwarting them at every cost. An action filled epic from legendary Hong Kong director Johnnie To.

hong kong cowboys aren't doing it for themselves

you may have read that this is a kind of westernlike movie, and concerning to the themes (revenge, friendship, honesty, ...) that may be true. but these men aren't cowboys, they're maffiosi-linked killers with a strange kind of correctness.
it tells a good story, but sometimes i thought: "huh? where does this come from?"
one thing's for sure: there's action, there's shoot-outs, there's a lot of fun in it.
good action movie, with intelligent themes but without moralizing (that's something you can't say of director To)
Must See!!!!
