John Woo established himself as one of Hong Kong's premiere action directors with this ultra-hip, ultra-violent action classic. The film centers around the complex relationship between two brothers: Sung Tse-kit (Leslie Cheung) is a recent graduate of the police academy while Tse-ho (Ti Lung) runs a massive counterfeiting ring along with his gangland associate, Mark Lee (Chow Yun-fat). Tension between the two brothers comes to a head when their father is murdered after a crime deal goes sour and Tse-ho lands in jail after being double-crossed. In perhaps the most influential scene in Hong Kong cinema in the 1980s, Mark avenges his friend by staging a dinner table assassination. As Mark tries to shoot his way out of the restaurant, pulling a series of hidden pistols from potted plants and alcoves, he gets horribly injured. With both founding members of the counterfeiting syndicate incapacitated, the operation falls into the hands of Shing (Waise Lee Chi-hung), Tse-ho's former underling who has little of his boss' élan or experience. When Tse-ho gets out of jail, he reunites with his now-crippled comrade, Mark, to take out Shing and to protect Tse-kit whose life is in danger for investigating their former subordinate.

This film is one of the four staples of John Woodom. It goes further than an action film with a deep story evolving around three characters, where all of their choices result in consequences of the others. This film has been out of print for decades and quite a difficult find at a reasonable price in the U.S. but I would not hesitate to pick it up if you do find it. You will be awed with Woo's fantastic storytelling, symbolism, action and effects. Witness the birth of the modern action film, and the showcasing of the Beretta 92 (Yeah, Die Hard did neither of those first, this is the original) A Hong Kong action masterpiece with not a moment of down time.
