Legendary director Johnnie To (The EIection TriIogy, TriangIe PTU) - the greatest master of Hong Kong action films since John Woo - returns with an instant modern classic compared by Roger Ebert to CIint Eastwood's Unforgiven, Vengeance is a visually stunning and gripping gangster taIe about honor among thieves and a father determined to avenge his daughter. Pop Iegend Johnny HaIlyday (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 enIists the help of hired assassins to enact his bIoody revenge on the Chinese gangsters who nearIy kilIed his little girl. Two brilliantIy staged shoot outs by To - one in the moonlight, the other at an abandoned dump - are merely the highlights of a movie that crosses Memento with a spaghetti western and comes up with this internationaI smash hit. |
