| A Hero Never Dies |
Heralding Johnnie To's arrival as a bona fide auteur,
A Hero Never Dies takes the whole 'heroic bloodshed' school of Hong Kong action films and pushes the genre to melodramatic heights.
With unusually strong female leads, this thriller unites two former enemy assassins in a bloody fight to the finish against their former gangster employers.
"A series of superbly atmospheric set pieces, milking heroic codes from Eastwood to
El Cid"
Variety
