Wissenswertes
The three criminals Kwai Ching-hung, Yip Kwok-foon and Cheuk Tze-keung are based on with their names altered, jeweler robber Kwai Ping-hung, notorious to such extent that he was placed on Interpol's Red Notice; bank robber Yip Kai-foon, known for his use of an AK-47 during robberies; and kidnapper Cheung Tze-keung, known for his kidnaps of billionaires in Hong Kong.

Kwai was sentenced to 24-year for multiple firearm and explosive charges, Yip was arrested in 1996 and sentenced to 41 years and Cheung was sentenced to death and was executed in China on 1998 (he was in hiding there in 1996).

Kwai was released in January 2020 and thus was deported to the United States as he held a passport there. Yip remained in prison until his death in 2017 thus Kwai became the last living criminals of the trio.

Patzer
Cheuk Tze-keung drives a Lamborghini Diablo GT (clearly noticeable by it's fixed headlight and distinctive front bumper), which for a film set in early 1997, was not available until 1999.

For crime cinema connoisseurs

A mature, beautifully executed slow burn crime flick with strong characters, a complex story, and plenty of reflection space ruptured by explosions of unglamourised violent action. Basically, the film depicts a mess of corruption and crime in the build up to Hong Kong's handover from Britain to China, as in Infernal Affairs II, focusing on three veteran gangsters in converging lines of action. Despite getting quite lost with some key aspects of the plot (watched on a plane, so small screen, and I imagine the English subtitles could have been improved upon) I generally felt solidly in touch with the three protagonists and their immediate short term goals, and remained secure that I was in the hands of highly competent filmmakers on both sides of the camera - some superb performances and very strong cinematography. Pardon the lack of polish here, but sometimes it's either that way or not posting at all, and I wanted to add some favourable comments to what little there is on here for this film. In the same ball park as the aforementioned Infernal Affairs II and maybe A Most Dangerous Year, maybe Black Mass. Quality cinema and a real discovery.
