The MovieWise Take

"Liao Fan has evolved from an energetic screen presence into China’s preeminent master of the noir anti-hero, lending a bruised, magnetic humanity to every frame he inhabits. He bridges the gap between populist action and elevated auteurism with an effortless intensity that cements his status as a modern titan of the craft."
