Vengeance (DVD) (Hong Kong Version)

Product Description

Johnnie To rounds up the regulars & legendary French singer Johnny Hallyday for the quintessential crime actioner Vengeance. Written by Tos usual collaborator Wai Ka Fai, Vengeance follows in the footsteps of The Mission & Exiled with the pulpy story of a Frenchman & a trio of hitmen out for revenge in Macau. Johnnie To once again turns bullets, brotherhood, & bloodshed into pure cinematic beauty. Shot mostly in English, the film surrounds Johnny Hallydays hitman-turned-chef with a supporting cast of Tos regular stars including Anthony Wong, Lam Suet, & Gordon Lam as eccentric hitmen, & Simon Yam as the nefarious mob boss. Michelle Yip, Eddie Cheung, Maggie Shiu, Felix Wong, Berg Ng, & Stanley Fung also appear in Vengeance.

French chef Costello (Johnny Hallyday) arrives in Macau to see his daughter (Sylvie Testud), whose husband & kids have been killed by mob hitmen. A former hitman himself, Costello has memory problems because of a bullet lodged in his brain, & must get revenge before he forgets everything. Wandering Macau, he happens upon affable hitmen Kwai (Anthony Wong), Chu (Gordon Lam), & Lok (Lam Suet), & hires them to avenge his family. The four of them manage to track down the killers, but Kwai, Chu, & Lok find out a few gunfire showdowns too late that their boss (Simon Yam) was behind the hit.
