7/10
The very first film with heroic bloodshed
27 July 2006
This was the movie that got John Woo Famous. It's a beautifully done film, about a relationship between two brothers that goes wrong when one of the brothers Kit (Leslie Cheung), a rookie cop, discovers that his brother Ho (Ti Lung), is a gangster when he is sent to prison. Three years later, Ho gets out of prison and starts a new life that is crime-free, but his brother is unable to forgive him (in other words, hates him) and his friend Mark (Chow Yun-Fat), encourages him to go back to the world of crime. The storyline is rather complicated to follow but this movie has some great stylised action scenes and great acting.

Worth watching.
