Chow Yun Fat is an assassin with a big heart who starts a relationship with a woman he accidentally blinds. A cop is intent on bringing him him in, but the closer he gets to him, the more he finds himself liking him. Meanwhile, the triad are trying to get rid of the assassin.
A very special movie and a hugely influential one also. This story of the frienship between an amoral cop and a moral assassin laid the blueprint for many of the action films of the 90s and beyond. You can see, for example, where Tarantino got many of his ideas from right here. A high octane gun ballet that still has time for plot fulfilling emotion. Done with a style and originality that comes along rarely.
