...Hong Kong director (A Better Tomorrow, The Killer, Hard Boiled) who made good in Hollywood with the crackerjack Face/Off. Surly men in overcoats trudge through a nightscape with very busy meteorology: when it isn't pouring rain there are snowflakes everywhere, like the residue from an Olympian pillow fight.
