Shanghai Triad

Shanghai Triad
(Yimou Zhang, 1995)

Country bumpkin becomes boy servant to mob boss mistress.

Hilarity does not ensue. More or less a strange film that is rather well done. Though incredibly cheesy the soundtrack is most fitting. Uses first person camera shots better than Doom the movie (imagine that). Lesson learned : Chinese gangs are frickin' evil.
