Paradox Effect

Rain-slicked Hong Kong night. A discarded child's toy. Two parents stare into the middle distance. Each of them has a child held for ransom by a ruthless criminal. A desperate, unholy alliance is struck: they must rob other criminals to raise the money. For fans of finely calibrated late-period Woo mayhem.
