Have any of you seen this?
Aparently this film inspired Reservoir Dogs... I haven't seen it yet, but I'm curious...

Yeah, I've seen it. It's pretty good. I didn't think it was anything fantastic. As far as Hong Kong urban actioners go, The Killer is the one to see.

The John Woo movie? This one?

That's the one. Great story, frenetic action. I believe Tarantino's a big fan of that too.

Thanks... I'll check it out... it's not on AppleTV, maybe I'll pick up a Bluray or DVD...

Be wary. I bought a DVD copy of it and the subtitles were really bad. It was like watching a completely different film. I first watched it on VHS years ago and it was perfect. I don't know why they changed them but the characters say completely different things. Took all the poetry out of it. So you might wanna be careful which version you watch.
