To me they represent recent Hong Kong cinema at its excessive best. <B>The Mission</B> is a much "cooler" film, and <B>Fulltime Killer</B>'s excesses are perhaps spread a bit too thin.Brian Darrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693169310367670898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10161060.post-1131146348106832152005-11-04T18:19:00.000-05:002005-11-04T18:19:00.000-05:00I read over that To article today, Brian.

The only To films I've seen are <I>The Mission</I> (which I remember liking, but don't actually remember much) and his co-directed <I>Full-Time Killer</I> (thought it was decent, nothing special).ZChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211734319629732065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10161060.post-1130978033082091132005-11-02T19:33:00.000-05:002005-11-02T19:33:00.000-05:00I always liked that piece on Johnnie To and felt a...I always liked that piece on Johnnie To and felt a certain kinship with its author because we both prefer <B>Too Many Ways To Be #1</B> and <B>a Hero Never Dies</B> over <B>the Mission</B>, but I'd never really kept his name in my head.
