It is easy to understand why its called the stylish Project Gutenberg if I tell you its about counterfeiting USD. Its also stylishly a bit film noir. Its at the same time a homage to the 70s and 80s shoot-kill-extravaganza HK gangsters movie genre.
Thankfully its a lot more than just that. Its probably the best role for Chow Yun Fatt has undertaken oohh ... for the last 20 years. Can see a bit of the fire in his eyes still there.
While it is safe to say that NOTHING is really ORIGINAL anymore, one can easily say this movie is about:20% A Better Tomorrow10% Face Off30% Keyser Sosa
The hard part should be for the scriptwriter to wove the backstory and flow of the plots and sub plots, the many plot twists, that towards the end we do not know who is real and who is not.
Very entertaining, also the main reason why despite throwing tons of money China still cannot make a HK style gangster movie. The director Felix Chong Mun Keong is an old hand.
