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)

Ok, i saw the film in store, i knew the actors so i thought this film might be worth watching. Watched it and then reaslised that it was a 5 Star film. 100% MUST SEE!!
