Lai-fu (Daniel Wu) is a hit-man hired to kill a Triad boss but on his arrival the man who is supposed to be his guide, Milo; is arrested by the police and now Lai-fu must find a way to complete his mission without his guide and the help of a greedy but friendly prostitute.
I found this film very thrilling and just like Infernal Affairs I found myself jumping at times, especially the chase scene; Daniel Wu captures the audience as he tries to adapt to his surroundings...A bustling city with more then one criminal. A long the way he becomes friends with the most unlikely of people a prostitute who helps him complete his objective, while the police hunt him down.
One Night in Mongkok is actually three days but still it keeps you entertained, the ending is especially sad and shocking but thats what makes a great film, a film should have you staring at the screen with your mouth open in shock and sadness...And Mongkok does not disappoint.
Truly a contender against the great Infernal Affairs Trilogy.
