I have watched the most miraculous movie of all time. These days I have been obsessed with Leslie Cheung, a famous actor in Hong Kong from 1980 to the 2000s. I have listened to this movie's masterpiece but never thought it was really gorgeous. Also, the movie’s theme song was such a bomb to my heart. During the movie, I felt thrilled about their action scenes, which were impeccable and neat. And the plot was also dramatic and heartbreaking instead unlike other action movies. Gunshot was clamorous and give me a heart strike.

Okay, let's talk about the relationship between the main characters and the villain. There are two brothers who live whit their sick old dad, and big brother is the thief of the mafia, in the otherwise, lil brother is a young cop who isn’t graduated from his academy. In the beginning, it shows that the two brothers' chemistry was beautiful and fun. But you’ll notice that big bro hiding his true identity from his lil bro. But daddy knows and told his elder son that ‘ you need to stop this job and live a good life’. Big bro going to quit this job after doing his last mission. He told his lil bro that he is going to Taiwan. I’m actually shocked that my daddy Leslie Cheung was 30 years old during the movie and he looks literally twenties. Also, there was one angel called Mark aka Chow Yun Fat. He is such a baby who is honest to his best friend and his life savior always told him that.

The main character was captured in Taiwan and got into prison for three years but his dad was killed by a previous mafia gangster who was working under him. His lil bro Kit was furious about that and he became bull which is always angry and boorish. After Ho (who is big bro) left jail he was happy about back to his brother. Eventually, Kit didn't invite him and ignore him like a plain wall. Their brotherhood relationships are vexed. I believe Mike is adroit as he told the right words at right time.

In the end, the action scene was dramatic at the same time exponential. Mike always shot on spot, even though he holds two guns. Then Ho has injured by enemies, and Mike goes mad due to Kit doesn't care about his big brother being shot. While he pulls up Kit’s collar and attempts to tell his wisdom, the bullet strikes through his head and makes Kit’s face crimson red. He died because of an abject sibling problem. After all, Kit forgives Ho and walks straight to the polices.

Honestly, it wasn’t that good since the whole movie was fast and furious, and hard to catch what was going on. In spite of that rapid of scenes, the whole cinematic, background sound, and character development felt good and gonna buried in my heart. I miss you, Leslie Cheung, you look incredible and handsome in that movie. Rest in peace my handsome Gor Gor.
