A big-budget follow-up to the 1998 Hong Kong smash hit. The Storm Riders, again from Golden Harvest Films. The movie attains fleeting echoes of Sergio Leones Once Upon a Time in America; the plot is overflowing with characters and subplots, but is far easier to follow than Storm Riders,thanks to much more fluid lensing by returning director Andrew Lau. It contains a remarkably fine score by Chan Kwong-wing, which knits together the story has sprawling emotional fabric. Scripter Manfred Wongs extensive flashback structure, with three characters giving different perspectives on the heroes odyssey, works surprisingly well.
