This is a Hong Kong action film directed by John Woo and starring Yun-Fat Chow. This was one of Woo's last films before making the move to Hollywood, the production quality clearly shows this. The movie has just awful production quality, it looks incredibly old and like it was made with a camcorder. It is a guy movie all around and Chow Yun-Fat seems to have an endless amount of bullets in his guns. Fat's movie to American didn't come until 1998 when he starred in The Replacement Killers.The movie is about an assassin who just wants to make one last hit before retiring, so you can imagine that it doesn't go as planned. The movie attempts to address honor, a silly point for killers to be making. A police officer struggles with helping the assassin against the bad guys or not, and Woo almost makes his point... but he just didn't do a good job wrapping it all up.
One of the films that graced the imdb top 250 5+ years ago, not really worthy of any other best film lists. I see the potential of Woo and Fat from this, but you might as well watch one of their Hollywood films instead.
