Premise
Chow Yun-Fat stars in John Woo's masterpiece about a guilt-ridden assassin who takes one last job to pay eye surgery for a singer he accidentally blinded.
Thoughts
It's been a while, but I recall this being Woo's best action flick. Naturally, it had entertaining over-the-top action glazed with lyrical, slow-motion style. Chow Yun-Fat was badass. While it did not have action as great as Hard Boiled, it had a much better story, with a plot that I cared about, especially the heart-breaking end.
What I would change
No idea.
