SYNOPSIS:
Mongkok, one of the most densely populated areas in the world, is the hotbed of illicit business. Lai Fu (Daniel Wu),
a farm boy from Mainland China, is hired as a killer and is forced to enter into the coincidence of gangs of Mongkok. Lai
Fu by chance meets a call girl from his home village, Dan (Cecilia Cheung), and saves her from the gangsters. The arrival
of Lai Fu tenses the police and the triad. Under flashy neon lights, Lai Fu and Dan are rummaged around in Mongkok by police
and gangsters. Who will find them first, the lawful force or the lawless one?
Cecilia Cheung is arguably Hong Kong's
hottest movie star at the moment after winning the 2004 Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress award for her role in "Lost In
Time" directed by Derek Yee - who also directed this gritty, absorbing thriller. This film received excellent reviews locally
and is being hailed as one of the best films of the year.
