If you loved Twin Dragons, 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
Both films are directed by Ringo Lam Ling-Tung, and they sit in Action / Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to Twin Dragons, 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.
