Consumer DVD Review
[Top]
This is not a massively widespread movie so when i first saw it I was absolutley stunned its amazing. Cho Yun Fat couldnt be better as the lead role & fits in very well with the character of the assassin.

The opening scene starts the film the way it means to go on with an outstanding gun fight in a dance club. Mira Sorvino is excellent support & looks amzing it the film as a witty gun toting documents forger.

What is even more amazing is the story. Not all, all out action films have such a good plot with several twists & turns & unexpecteds that make this film so good. But this is a film that can be watched many time over just for the gun scenes in particular the carwash & the end gun scenes.

Her thesis was on anti-African sentiment in China. She is also a political activist affiliated with Amnesty International. She spent a year abroad in China & speaks Mandarin Chinese.
