A tale of the ruthless and brutal life of the Triads and how it is very hard (if not impossible) to walk away. Chow Yun-Fat plays John Lee who fails in his last assignment (to kill a child) and wants to get out. Obviously his Triad bosses are not keen on his plans. Lee enlists the help of a forger (Mira Sorvino) who gets dragged into John's fight with the Triad, his efforts to protect his family, and to evade the replacement killer sent to kill him...
It isn't very original, though lets face it that's generally not a problem with gangster movies. The action is fine and the film is stylish but it just could have been so much more. It's worth watching for Chow Yun-Fat but not much else.
