i like motion pictures

i thot of doin a series of posts on my fav movies... supposed i would love it... to let me "publicise" some good things i like to share... if u duno, i love watchin movies and occasionally drama serials... not exactly at the theatres, but snappin up the dvd or vcd n take it in in my comfort n at my own pace... the featured films are of course selected w discretion, n only those that touched or moved me... even if it's only a small extent, because i feel tt those w potential should be given credit as well...

黑暗中,总有心心相惜的敌人。

ive watched this 3times i think... it is supposed to be n would be remembered by many as a cop-hitman tangle, but it's 1 of those movies tt made me cry really hard coz of the background the main plot is based on... n lead man aaron kwok really delivered... no surprise he won a Golden Horse for this... Suen(aaron) is out to nab a corrupt businessman(gallen lo)
, but w justice seemingly at hand, a key witness was assassinated right before his eyes, by hitman Coke(daniel wu)... on the side of the corrupt is To(ekin cheng), the lawyer for the businessman, who gains his fame by workin for the villains... Suen n To look to be potential rivals, but Suen is too intrigued n obsessed w Coke... all is pushed off when the businessman's son goes missin... behind this main plot we have the struggles of all 3men... Coke combines honor w his assassinations, n is thus a conflicted soul, treadin between the good n bad, n he has problems w his handler too; To, as expected, has no choice but to live w this kind of shady legal life, but is pressured by his wife to return to decent law work... but shining most thru to us is of course the struggles of Suen, the lead of the film... once a top celebrity cop w a lovely girlfriend who's bearin his child, one day she disappears, literally, bringin abt his downfall... his life was halved between arrestin crooks n living in the past searchin for her... as expected, w the appearance of both Coke n To, the issue of the missin girlfriend returns...
