Great Hong Kong flick with seriously lush visuals and stunning performances from everyone involved. Plot? Basically the head of a triad gang plants moles within the police forces' new recruits. One of these moles (Andy Lau) moves on to greater things and becomes very high up in the police department years later, still corresponding to his gang boss. At the same time the mole was planted when he were a young un, one of the scrupulous recruits seems to be excelling at his training and he is taken away and made an undercover cop working in the city's criminal underground. So, this undercover cop (Tony Leung) is now high up in the gang the police mole works for... If that makes sense. And everything starts getting complicated and wonderfully sly. Go see Noticed posters for it when I was in London at the weekend which is what sparked this. Not sure if it's just for London or what but if there's a cinema screening it near you go see it. Or if you can't be arsed with that get a copy of it from eBay or something.
It's already out down here but the only place showing it in the whole of the midlands is the UGC in Birmingham. Will go this weekend hopefully
Yeah, not too bad movie. Part III has already been released too. /if you REALLY want a laugh, checkout the movie Shaolin Soccer, guaranteed to make you ROFL!
That's right, and bloody good too it's supposed to be. You can get all three on eBay (from reputable people) or even on CD Wow I think. I need the sequels. Shaolin Soccer is great. Shame the subs are terrible, but in a funny kinda way I guess. It only adds to the humour I suppose
Well I watched it, and I'm glad I didn't shell out for either a DVD or cinema ticket. It was fairly average stuff really. All these posters with comparisons with Heat to advertise the film are way off the mark both according to content and quality. Not a bad movie, but nothing earth shattering either.
