John Woo's gun-happy melodrama about an aging gangster (Ti Lung) with split loyalties: his brother (Leslie Cheung) is a newly appointed police inspector, while his life-long pal (Chow Yun-Fat) is a counterfeiter. Flabby, technically a little rough by Woo standards, but distinguished by a trio of actors in career-making roles. And awfully melodramatic.

(2.5/4)
