It's definitely on the top of my list of the best Hong Kong movies ever made. I never knew how great of a director Wong Kar Wai is. I have yet to see his other films like Chungking Express, Happy Together, In the Mood for Love, and the others, but this would be a great introduction movie to this director.
I really loved how the story was told. There are many French New Wave elements in this movie. Great cinematography that consists of handheld shots. Lots of voice overs to get into the thoughts of the characters in the movie is very effective. Also the three interelating stories work because it has so much emotion. I love the relationship between the Hitman and his agent and the Mute and his father. The acting was very good, especially for a Hong Kong movie. A lot of Hong Kong movie actors seem to overact. The actors in this movie are very naturalistic. There are even a few action scenes in this movie for you hardcore Hong Kong action movie lovers. One action scene consists of eerie Jamaican music and slow motion is very well done.
There isn't any flaws i can think of. So you're looking for a great film to watch, I recommend this movie.
