John Woo's jaw-dropping bullet ballet classic, newly restored!
When an expert assassin (Chow Yun-Fat) accidentally blinds a nightclub singer (Sally Yeh), he chooses to retire after one last job to pay for his unintended victim's sight-restoring operation. But when he's double-crossed, he reluctantly joins forces with a rogue policeman (Danny Lee) to make things right.
In Cantonese with English subtitles.
Special live intro from local Hong Kong genre film connoisseur and one of the programmers of the Seattle Film Society, Patrick McFarland.
