Both newcomers to Mr. To and longtime admirers should be prepared for a master class in directing. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
A formula thriller done as an elegant genre exercise. Johnny Hallyday was brought in by To as a last-minute sub for Alain Delon, and could have been the first choice: He is tall, weathered, grim and taciturn. Read full review
