If you loved The Outsider, try City on Fire
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Action / Crime / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Outsider, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What City on Fire is
A neon string of fireworks bursts over Kowloon’s wet pavement. A revolver’s click echoes in a noodle shop back-alley. Ko Chow juggles three lies: one badge hidden behind clenched teeth, another ring in his pocket, and a badge that isn’t his hunting him down the same rain-slicked lane. The closer — a 1987 Hong Kong thriller that burns through loyalties faster than its own gunpowder fumes.
