Exiled - Out on DVD 22nd October
From the director of Election and the forthcoming remake of Le Cercle Rouge, EXILED is a stylish, visceral, action packed thriller from legendary Hong Kong director Johnnie To.
The time is 1998. The setting is Macau. Every living soul jumps at every chance to make quick money before the Portuguese colony ushers in a new era under the Chinese rule. For the jaded hit men, they wonder where this journey will end. Against this background of fin-de-siecle malaise come two hit men from Hong Kong sent to take out a renegade member trying to turn over a new leaf with his wife and newborn baby. They soon find themselves in the throes of a dilemma when two of their former associates also show up, intent on thwarting them at every cost. EXILED features Anthony Won (Infernal Affairs), Francis Ng (Infernal Affairs 2) and other Johnnie To regulars Roy Cheung (Infernal Affairs 2), Lam Suet (PTU) and Simon Yam (Election).
Election 2 – Out on DVD 22nd October
Jimmy is an educated gangster: a member of one of Hong Kong’s oldest triads, Wo Sing, and in line to become its next Chairman. Moreover the Chinese authorities, recognizing his popularity, also see him as the ideal leader with which they will finally be able to negotiate a peaceful co-existence. However, Jimmy wants to leave the Triad, go clean and build his own legitimate business empire. The irony that to do this he must first step up and take control is not lost on him, and as he embarks on a violent campaign trail an altogether greater power looms to threaten the future of both Wo Sing and Jimmy himself…
