WHAT'S IT ABOUT? A hitman assigned to assassinate a Triad boss, finds himself hunted by cops, gangsters and a sweet local prostitute who calls him "dear". Bless.

ANY GOOD? An intelligent, suspense-rich Hong Kong crime thriller, that made us blurt out words like "brilliant!", "amazing!" and "super-dupery, gun-bangingly stonking!"

BEST BITS: We spent the whole film wondering why this was 18-rated. Then the last 10 minutes beat us over the head with a heavy stick.
