Film description
Fleeing from danger, Lok-kwun accidentally ends up in the Walled City – the most densely populated place on Earth, where order is enforced by criminal triads. His appearance in this dangerous corner of Hong Kong reminds us that the peace that reigns here is fragile and temporary.
After two expressive films that triumphed at world festivals, Soi Cheang gathered an all-star cast (Louis Koo, Aaron Kwok, and Sammo Hung!) and turned to commercial cinema. "Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In" dazzles with its thrilling action scenes, as well as its stunning narrative and set design. The recreated mythical district, made up of labyrinthine narrow streets, delights and transports us to the murky, cracked past of the city – to a Hong Kong completely different from what we know today. "Twilight of the Warriors" hits hard and reminds us why Hong Kong is associated with the best action cinema in the world.
