Mobsters are smuggling guns into Hong Kong. The police orchestrate a raid at a teahouse where an ace detective loses his partner. Meanwhile, the two main gun smugglers are having a war over territory, and a young new gun is enlisted to wipe out informants and overcome barriers to growth. The detective, acting from inside sources, gets closer to the ring leaders and eventually must work with the inside man directly.
When a tough police officer's (Chow Yun-Fat) partner is brutally murdered, he joins forces with another loose-cannon cop (Tony Leung) to exact his own bloody revenge on the gun-smuggling gangsters responsible for his friend's death. A lot of action, guns, and violence, all masterfully rendered by action maestro John Woo (THE KILLER, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 2). This is the last film the director made in his native Hong Kong before emigrating to the United States.
Inspecteur Yuen, alias Tequila (Chow Yun Fat) is een politieagent die vanuit zijn heupen schiet, nooit laadt... en nooit mist. Een stoere gast met een groot hart en veel charme. Tequila is de enige die het gespuis in de stad kan opruimen. Maar als zijn partner tijdens een spectaculair vuurgevecht in een theehuis wordt vermoord, besluit Tequila het onderzoek in eigen hand te nemen. Tijdens het onderzoek komt hij oog in oog met Tony (Tony Leung) een huurmoordenaar met een dodelijk geheim.

Apparently, everyone in the building has a gun and knows martial arts. You have to see it to believe it. Watch the trailer:Follow Darren on Twitter: @EWDarrenFranich
