The Mission

A triad boss escapes a murder bid and hires five bodyguards, all with their own, history within the triad and still with unfinished business with each other. The inner tension increase continuously with the many idle moments. But when the mission is completed the real challenge awaits. In this deservedly acclaimed film, Johnnie To gives us his entire repertoire. Anthony Wong and Francis Ng, Hong Kong's most distinctive actors, embody the calm suspense that is undermined by Cheung Siu Keung's restrained observing images and Chung Chu Wing's captivating music. The film begins with the Hong Kong films romanticizing of the triads before they fall into helplessness, fear and lack of belief in their closest.
