i've not seen many wong kar wai films, i have only seen happy together which i thought was really good so im sad to report that i didn't like wong kar wai's debute film.
its characters and his style feel refined yet the writing doesn't.
his characters act like classic wong kar wai characters(from what i know) and the plot also does but both of those things feel undercooked.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A stylish Hong Kong crime tale caught between the pull of legitimate love and the binding obligations of gang loyalty. It's both tender and edgy, a young gangster drawn toward redemption but chained to his volatile past.
