An excellent John Woo, where we find the style of the director. The action scenes are excellent, totally mastered, we take full view, and it explodes in all directions. The film is about brotherhood, friendship and loyalty, all of John Woo's themes are treated wonderfully in this first episode.
Chow Yun Fat's performance hits the screen. This actor has an incredible charisma, particularly in this film where he eclipses the other actors who are also excellent.
The rhythm is very good, the duration of the film also, we do not have time to be bored. Some passages are a bit absurd but it is part of the genre, and we will also forgive the pistols with unlimited ammunition, a great classic.
The staging of the gunfights is less epic than in The Killer or Hard Boiled (two Woo films that I prefer to this one), but are still very good.
In short, if you haven't seen this film and you like Hong Kong cinema, want to discover it, or watch a good John Woo, I recommend it!
