HKFlix Says: 3.5 Stars
An irresistible, dreamlike portrait of a metropolis asleep. Poor characters, but great atmosphere.
Avg. Rating:
  3.5 / 5 (based on 11 ratings). What did you think of it?
Plot:A stolen police gun triggers a suspenseful chain of events. Tracking down the gun before dawn, cop Lo gets his car vandalized, his butt kicked, and is wedged between two gangs on the brink of a bloodbath, while starving off departmental investigations.
Overview:Set against a TsimShaTsui that never sleeps, a stolen police gun triggers a suspenseful chain of events. Tracking down the missing gun before dawn, cop Lo first gets his car vandalized, then his butt kicked. Suddenly, he is wedged between two gangs on the brink of a bloodbath, while starving off investigations by both the anti-vice squad and the homicide unit, embroiled in their own turf war. His only lifeline is a maverick Police Tactical Unit team who help him search for the gun.

All characters, all threads crisscross in one dark night. Shots with high contrast light versus darkness. A natural minimalization versus a deep sense of black humor. With precise timing, Johnnie To sets the place for a visual ballet.

Cast: Simon Yam  ||  Lam Suet  ||  Ruby Wong  ||  Maggie Shiu
