I don't like Gangster movies, but I enjoy this one. I own this movie and love to watch the last part of it over and over again. It's a great story. Every role in this film is performed well and makes sense. I am especially suprised at Louis Koo's ability of portraying David Chow -a like-hero-like-devil kind of character. This is a movie that can be redone in ancient costumes (with the same cast please!)and made into a martial art/fantacy classic like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.
