Noted Hong Kong action director Johnny To spins this ultra-cool cat and mouse game between a very tenacious cop and a super thief with 72 hours to live. After brilliantly swiping diamonds from an insurance company, a master criminal (Andy Lau) inveigles Inspector Ho (Lau Ching-wan) into being his unwitting accomplice. Later, when the two confront each other, the thief has another trick up his sleeve. ~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide

| Andy Lau's generally a good gamble, and he certainly makes this film, though he's not alone in it. Really what makes this work is the relationship between the two main characters, and the actors play it beautifully. Lau and Wan go from not even knowing each other through antagonism to toying with each other, as Lau's caper becomes more and more complex. Sure, the enemies-becoming-friends schtick reached its pinnacle in "The Killer" but this isn't quite retreading the same territory, and the acting is great. Worth your while, for sure. |
