Exiled (2006)
Director: Johnnie To
Starring: Anthony Wong, Simon Yam, Nick Cheung, Roy Cheung, Josie Ho, Francis Ng, Richie Ren
Featuring: Ka Tung Lam, Suet Lam, Ellen Chan,
After his two Election films, bleak and complicated studies of gangster lore and rituals of succession, Hong Kong director Johnnie To takes a more calculatedly entertaining tack in Exiled. The film is set in Macau, the former Portuguese colony, in 1998, just before the handover to China. It begins with an image of two knocks at a door, and two pairs of gunmen looking for the same guy. The four, who know each other, wait for their quarry to return. Two have come to kill him, two to protect him.
