Twilights of the Warriors: Walled In

A runaway hit in Hong Kong, where it became the second-highest grossing domestic picture of all time, Cheang’s inspired mash-up of martial arts movie and neo-noir crime thriller takes a headlong dive into the cramped, lawless Kowloon Walled City—a decommissioned 19th-century military fort, since demolished, here recreated by a miracle of mangy production design—in the dirty, desperate old days of the crime-plagued 1980s. New in town, illegal immigrant Raymond Lam finds himself smack in the middle of an all-out war between local vigilantes, led by Louis Koo, and triad capos, including a blinged-up Sammo Hung and sidekick Philip Ng, their savage decapitation- and defenestration-filled clashes choreographed for maximum bone-crunching impact by Kenji Tanigaki.
