I expected much more from that sort of homage to Jean-Pierre Melville's masterpiece: LE SAMOURAÏ. Johnny Halliday's character's name is Costello, as Alain Delon's one, in the Melville's film. And the outfit worn by Halliday reminds me the raincoats and hats we saw in Melville's movies too. The characters are very interesting, especially between the hired killers and the lead: Halliday. Johnny To emphasizes on relations between men: friendship and manhood. As, again, we saw in Melville's features. Very poignant sequences in offbeat, unusual moments. I really loved that.
But what a shame that the ending was a waste. A f...mess.
I prefer forget it.
