...results were impressive: gnarled, noirish items like The Odd One Dies and Where a Good Man Goes. Milkyway developed a solid rep, and its house star, the sensitively sullen Lau Ching-wan, became the poor man's Chow Yun-fat. A Hero Never Dies, a blueprint for Fulltime Killer in its rivalry of two gang lieutenants, won a fistful of critics' prizes. Running Out of Time garnered Andy Lau his first Best Actor citation in the Hong Kong Film Awards. With The Mission, To was elevated to top status among Asian action auteurs.

And the fact that home isn?t what he remembered is the kind of out-of-left-field "surprise" ending that gets mystery writers beat up at Ellery Queen conventions...
