Synopsis
Zhang is in charge of a narcotics brigade. When he finally arrests the criminal Timmy Choi, they both reach an agreement: Choi can avoid the death penalty in exchange for working undercover for the police. For the first time Johnnie To moves to continental China to shoot a complex, tense, dry and stylized thriller, where the storylines are dark and the shots smell of gunpowder.
