Fallen Angels (7.2/10)

Fallen Angels is one of those films that comes with a big reputation, especially among fans of Hong Kong cinema, so I went in with high expectations. The 1995 film is mostly in Cantonese, and the viewing experience had its ups and downs. It's best known for its cinematography, and that reputation is earned. I loved the wide-angle shots and the neon-soaked look of Hong Kong at night, which give the film a style all its own but the camera angles were weird angles. At the same time, the story sometimes felt all over the place, jumping between characters and moods in a way that made it hard to stay locked in. "An assassin, his boss, an entrepreneur and two women cross paths in Hong Kong as their professional and love lives collide and influence each other, mostly without their knowledge."
