In this quintessential Hong Kong action film, a hitman (Chow Yun-Fat) accidentally injuries the eyes of a singer (Sally Yeh) during a restaurant shootout. Later he meets the girl and discovers that if she does not have a very expensive operation very soon, she will go blind. To get the money for the surgery, the hitman decides to perform one last job. However, he is pursued by a relentless maverick cop who has been chasing him for years. The film makes no apologies for its intense violence, but its brilliant visual style and bravura direction by acclaimed filmmaker John Woo has earned it accolades even from non-action fans.
