You probably know the story from the other comments, concerning a rift between brothers and a disgraced gunman. This movie is one of the best of all time, and I never understand it's so-so to pretty good ratings. It's a definite GREAT movie, not a pretty good one. Everything in it is perfect, except perhaps the end where in some parts you could tell they were on a somewhat limited budget. The gunfights are excellent, even if short, and Chow Yun-Fat acts in this one better than any other actor in any part.
