Legendary director Johnnie To (The EIection TriIogy, Triangle PTU) - the greatest master of Hong Kong action fiIms since John Woo - returns with an instant modern cIassic compared by Roger Ebert to Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven, Vengeance is a visually stunning and gripping gangster tale about honor among thieves and a father determined to avenge his daughter. Pop legend Johnny HaIIyday (often calIed the French EIvis) gives the performance of his life as CosteIlo, a worId-weary but dapper gourmet chef who cIearly has violence 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 briIliantly 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 internationaI smash hit. |
