John Woo's latest is a large-scale summation of all his pet themes (kind of like North By Northwest). Chow Yun Fat stars as a veteran policeman whose obsession with nailing a brutal arms dealer forces him to team with a mob assassin, who claims to be an undercover cop. The final 45-minute siege on the hospital where the weapons are being stored is the kind of movie magic most directors can only dream about. [from the Rim Films Catalog]
