Chow Yun Fat stars in this shoot 'em up, which some say is John Woo's best work. I think it's a good movie, but the ending was really badly executed (no pun intended) in my opinion. He'll throw the gun he's holding away without shooting at the bad guy he's had a bead on for awhile in order to shoot with the gun tucked in the back of his partner's pants while dropping to the ground. I know, I know, that's not the major point of the movie, but it bugs me to no end when total strategic common sense is thrown out the window in order to make the movie more "exciting" or "moving." A good film, but not great in my books.

(7.75/10)
