Full Contact - 1992 - 7/10
AKA - Xia dao Gao Fei // 俠盜高飛

One of the dark jewels of Hong Kong cinema, in an time when the community was on creative fire.
Gou Fei and Sam Sei (Chow Yun-Fat and Anthony Wong) get embroiled in a bank heist.
Leading the heist is Judge (Simon Yam as flamboyantly gay) and his sidekicks Psycho and Virgin.
When things sour, when thieves fall out, boy do they ever.
This is a gritty actioner, lacking the slo-mo stylistics of John Woo.
Nevertheless, the fight sequences in this are extraordinary.
Some of the bullet scenes will have Matrix fans going, “Wait a minute.”
Full Contact is irresistible. A must watch.
