Additional InformationVersatile Hong Kong box office giant Chow Yun-Fat makes a Hollywood splash as a Chinese hitman beholden to a drug kingpin (Tsang, in an interesting reversal of his Hong Kong "crusty cop" persona). The good news is that he's free after one hit; the bad news is that the drug lord wants revenge on a cop who killed his son--by killing the cop's son. A tough-talking passport forger creates a new identity for our hero, but they've soon got to fight their way out to stay alive. First-timer Fuqua provides eye-candy visuals but little of the melodrama of his Hong Kong forebear (and executive producer), John Woo.

ReviewsRolling Stone - ...Chow Yun-Fat is a legend in the making..., New York Times - ...A sleek piece of filmmaking....[With] a mood that is dreamlike and almost lulling..., Sight and Sound - ...[Sorvino] attacks her role with skill. She never smiles until the final scene, but has stolen the show long before...
