Jiang Hu (DVD)

Starring Andy Lau (World Without Thieves, Battle of Wits, House of Flying Daggers, Infernal Affairs Trilogy) and Jacky Cheung (Ashes of Time Redux, Days of Being Wild, Bullet in the Head) reprise their triad boss-lieutenant relationship from Wong Kar Wai's debut As Tears Go By, adjusted here for age and experience. Built around a twin plot structure starring Shawn Yue (Dragon Tiger Gate, Dragon Squad, Infernal Affairs Trilogy) and Edison Chen (The Dark Knight, The Grudge 2, Initial D, Infernal Affairs Trilogy) as younger Triad members on the make, it bears a similar relationship to HK Triad cinema as The Godfather 2, Once Upon A Time In America and Goodfellas do to US Mob cinema. A stylish, exciting gangster drama.
