Though ostensibly Yesterday Once More is a heist picture, it's quite different than what comes to mind when most people think about when they envision a Johnnie To crime-themed movie. Having more in common with the breezy 1960's romantic comedies of Cary Grant than To's usual quirky and violent efforts, Yesterday Once More initially holds some promise, but quickly falls apart after the audience realizes that neither of the two lead characters are particularly likable, which leads to not really caring at all about their fates.
