An empathic assassin tries to perform his final job to get the money to save the eyesight of one of the innocent bystanders injured during a former murder. There are many great things about this movie, but I was especially astounded by the editing and have looked at a sequence of scenes in particular. When Ah Jong goes to kill his final victim, the police force is also shown. Their job is to protect the (obviously scumbag) rich guy from being shot or attacked. They fail gloriously at their job. The first scene starts with the police officer receiving instructions to protect the VIP. Officer "Small B" gets the file on his desk, then we cut to the head of the force giving some information on their protection job on a long dolly shot. The dragon boat race is intercut with this scene, alternating between long lens and slow motion shots. At the same time "Small B" and his assistant are shown in a 2-shot - effectively separating them from the anonymous police...
Some of the media consumed by me. More of a personal notebook.
