Triangle

The second Johnnie To film of the festival (this time with two other directors as well) is arguably better than the first. Three low-level crooks are handed a business card by a mysterious figure in a bar, just before dying under strange circumstances. A heist ensues, with plenty of ill-fated romance and double crossing.

Dark and gritty like the rest of his work, Triangle certainly stands up next to the rest of the pantheon. Unfortunately this means that a number of plot points are reworked here, as several original scenes devolve into a madcap road trip and zany shootout in the third act. The beginning is good enough that this is definitely worth watching, and the ending is satisfying if somewhat formulaic.

Possibly not as good as Exiled, but definitely worth a look.
