Fulltime Killer

Co-directed by frequent To collaborator Wai Ka-Fai, and officially selected for the 2001 Toronto Film Festival, this high octane shoot-'em-up pits heartthrob and pop star Andy Lau against Takashi Sorimachi, his biggest opponent, as they battle it out for the attentions of the beautiful Kelly Lin.

Hot on their tails is Simon Yam, an Interpol inspector who becomes obsessed with the two assassins as he pursues them across Asia.
