Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at fans of a good revenge story and anyone fascinated by the criminal underworld. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning. Fans of A Better Tomorrow or Infernal Affairs II should feel right at home. A look inside a world of loyalty, money and betrayal.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- Moves at a clip, at 1 hr 34 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Cantonese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.
Timid and wimpy triad gangster, Kit, is the right-hand man to gangster Brother Fire, who, in a bid to protect his younger sister Mandy from unwelcome advances, accidentally kills rival gang boss Brother Long's younger brother, Kwong. Brother Fire is sent to prison, leaving Kit to flee to France with Mandy, where Kit joins the French Foreign Legion. While he is away at boot camp, Brother Long sends assassins to kill Mandy. Months later, Kit returns to Hong Kong a tougher more fearless man. Accompanied by new friend Brother Hark, Kit vows revenge against Brother Long.
