HK Action Film at the Oscars

The film stars Hong Kong actor and vocalist veteran Andy Lau, who is said to be second in popularity in Asia only to Jackie Chan and Chow Yun Fat. Johnny To is famous for his deeply characterized, hard boiled action dramas including All About Ah-Long, Bare-foot Kid, and Running Out of Time. To may be best known in America, though, for his wild and outrageous Heroic Trio and its sequel The Exceutioners.
