Eddy Ko is a high-ranking member of the triads, with four body guards. They regularly save hais life, and they have a lot of team camaraderie. So when Ko orders three of them to kill the fourth because he is carrying on an affair with Ko's wife, they have issues.
Johnnie To's breakout international hit is a black comedy set in the nights and long afternoons of Hong Kong. Siu-Keung Cheng's bright-lit cinematography shows up the opulence and grit of Hong Kong to the movie's advantage, as does the blank-faced acting of the cast. Lot of gun battles, lots of little gags keep the tone of this movie a constant surprise.
