Vengeance
(Johnny To, Hong Kong, 2009, 35mm, 108 min) This fast-paced thriller offers neo-noir fans and newcomers a genre-busting gem complete with a hit man turned chef, a family man moonlighting as an assassin, and an androgynous detective. Vengeance is a rich, fragrant reduction of To's favorite themes (male bonding, codes of loyalty, the triad underworld and of course, vengeance), stylistic trademarks (slow-motion clouds of blood, unforgettable set-pieces, impossibly sleek cinematography, brooding men, black humor) and actors (Anthony Wong, Simon Yam, Lam Suet). And for good measure, it stars French crooner Johnny Hallyday.
