One of those wearisome Hong Kong action movies where characters engage in Mexican standoffs not so much to ratchet up excitement or generate tension but rather to look cool for as long as possible.

Johnnie To, the director, is highly respected in this genre, and I suppose he does it about as well as you'd want it to be done, unless you wanted acting and more coherence.
Cast of regulars blends like those in a late-on Howard Hawks' movie.
To packs the moments of contemplation with as much suspense as the action sequences and is a master of ratcheting up tension through small details.
The movie is consistently engrossing and sometimes touching, thanks to its hard yet subtle characterizations and Mr. To's refusal to condescend.
This is an accomplished suspense-action piece that touches on universal themes of brotherhood, exile, love and honor.
