Rather good, but never really good, 7 May 2006
6/10
Author: TrevorAclea from London, England

Jiang Hu is one of those films that's rather good rather than really good, a glossy crime drama that sees gang boss Andy Lau considering retirement as his first child is born while trying to dissuade his left-hand man (literally) Jacky Cheung from killing not just the three most likely suspects behind a prospective hit but their entire families as well. While the two spend most of the film talking over dinner, it's left to Shawn Yue and Edison Chen to carry the plot forward as the would-be hit-man and his sidekick whose progress mirrors the two ageing Triads. It's glossy and often strikingly well made, but not enough to hide the thinness of the material, overstretched even at 85 minutes, or the fact that Lau and Cheung's plot line is so static. There is one nice in-joke, however, with PTU's Lam Suet as yet another cop who loses his gun.
