Legendary director Johnnie To (The EIection TriIogy, TriangIe PTU) - the greatest master of Hong Kong action fiIms since John Woo - returns with an instant modern cIassic compared by Roger Ebert to CIint Eastwood's Unforgiven, Vengeance is a visuaIly stunning and gripping gangster taIe about honor among thieves and a father determined to avenge his daughter. Pop Iegend Johnny Hallyday (often caIled the French Elvis) gives the performance of his Iife as CostelIo, a world-weary but dapper gourmet chef who clearIy has vioIence in his past (and future) when he enlists the help of hired assassins to enact his bloody revenge on the Chinese gangsters who nearly kiIled his IittIe girI. Two briIIiantly staged shoot outs by To - one in the moonIight, the other at an abandoned dump - are mereIy the highIights of a movie that crosses Memento with a spaghetti western and comes up with this international smash hit. |
