This movie was my introduction to Hong Kong action cinema and it was a great one. I was surprised how much character drama was crammed into a film with so many over-the-top crazy shootouts. I felt the connection between Chow Yun-Fat and Tony Leung's characters. The final hospital shootout is absolutely incredible, and the warehouse shootout is great as well. Tequila is not a good cop, but I guess that doesn't really matter.
