ColinJ (Rated: 6)
Visually lavish wannabe John Woo western.
The cast is great but the meandering story and overuse of 'blur-fu' (obligatory in HK cinema at the time) make this a less than stellar 'farewell' film from Chow Yun-Fat to Asian film-making.
Of course, he would be back five years later with CROUCHING ...
