Classic 4.17/5 1989 · Directed by John Woo · Starring Chow Yun-Fat, Danny Lee, Sally Yeh, Kong Chu, Kenneth Tsang · Action, Crime · 111 min

Mob assassin Jeffrey is no ordinary hired gun; the best in his business, he views his chosen profession as a calling rather than simply a job. So, when beautiful nightclub chanteuse Jennie is blinded in the crossfire of his most recent hit, Jeffrey chooses to retire after one last job to pay for his unintended victim's sight-restoring operation. But when Jeffrey is double-crossed, he reluctantly joins forces with a rogue policeman to make things right.
