JP H @JohnnyHardboiled 4 days ago It's really thoughtful, a John Woo film more in deep philosophical thought about what life is about relationships and how the modern world's values like money can tear those and a person apart, of course amongst the BULLET HELL of a John woo film lol. Good, but not great. The Killer and Hardboiled are better See more Thomas V @TomVee Aug 22, 2026 This has to be John Woo's best. It's not perfect, but it is an absolutely sweeping epic surrounding a simple story of three friends from the hood who's friendship gradually self-destructs over years of incredibly bad luck and incredibly poor decisions, Tony Leung and Jacky Cheung both give stellar performances and create characters we care about, enough that we keep hoping they'll be spared their inevitable end even as that inevitability becomes increasingly obvious. There are many fantastic action sequences of course, with top notch editing and some great camera work. This is not a fun watch; it's absolutely relentless in shifting its tone to be increasingly grim, so much so that any time you think for even a moment this trio might finally get a break, it gets worse. And it tries to say too much; it's just a lot. Well worth seeing, however.

Its shifting tones don't always cohere, but the film is packed with striking imagery, powerful performances, and a spectacular finale that ranks among Woo's best action sequences. Flawed, fascinating, and well worth seeing for fans of Woo at his most audacious.

La acción será brutal y el final es absolutamente épico. Una de las obras maestras del gran John Woo. See more Read all reviews
