Full Contact
Director: Ringo Lam
1992 / 99min / 35mm
The fire this time is a cleansing one: Chow Yun-fat’s cavalier criminal is nearly killed in an explosion that leaves an innocent girl disfigured, and he emerges from the flames a new man, setting out to right wrongs and exact purgative vengeance on those who double-crossed him, including former friend Anthony Wong and his crime lord cousin, Simon Yam. A beautiful bullet ballet that sends the camera sailing along with fired rounds, and perhaps the most ruthless movie that Lam ever made, not easing up until the final, unforgettable exhortation, “Go masturbate in Hell!”
