Unforgettable atmoshpheric thriller Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
"Exiled" dazzled me. I was mesmerized by the spectacular choreography of its action set pieces. I was captivated by its nail-biting tension. And I was fascinated by the heartfelt camaraderie of its central characters. A terrific veteran cast, a great director, a suggestive script, and loads of rich Macau atmosphere -- combined with those jaw-dropping shoot-outs make "Exiled" a classic of gangster cinema. Very, very highly recommended.

$16.99 is a lot of money Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I have no regrets buying this movie. I wouldn't say it is a better movie than The Mission (aka Gunfire) but it is definitely more polished, more beautifully shot and more mature. I buy pretty much anything that has Johnny To's name on it even if he is producing and so far I have not been disappointed. This movie offers a great deal to think about in terms of debt, obligation and what we are worth as human beings. And it offers a glimpse of pretty old Macau.

Tense cowboy standoff Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
Wo is in Macau with his wife in exile from his former triad gang. 4 members of the gang are dispatched there to kill him. However the members have a big link with Wo and grew up together. This is all taking place at the handover of Macau in 98. They arrive in Macau, and enter the house and botch up the hit. Boss Fay gets angry. Wo says his family and baby need money, so convinces the others to do one last job before he is killed. This is the main plot of the film, and it centres around robbing gold stored under Buddha Mountain. There is not too much dialogue, but some parts don't need much. The whole film is very well acted and all the major actors put in superb performances especially Anthony Wong and Josie Ho. The sound is very good, with gunfire sounding natural. In summary a good heroic bloodshed movie, which all people interested in Hong Kong cinema will love. Definately film of the year in my view and deserved the award it got.

Triad Film Done Great! Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
That Johnnie Too can make good triads films are nothing new. And Exiled is not going to disappoint anyone out there that likes his other films.
Once again the story surrounds around triad members and their lives.

As always when it comes down to Too films I like the way he films his scenes its simple but beautiful and the gun fights are again awsome to watch.
The scenery are being held quite sinmple but still are very beautiful to see.
The colours are a bit hold back to make this film feel a bit more real and "ugly", I think its a way for Too to make the films feel more terrible, being a triad member is not a dance on roses I belive.

This dvd has good sound and good picture which is nice! So its a good version of the film if you go with the HK release

 Action speaks louder than word Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
This movie its pretty good, not so much dialogs, the way to watch this movie is by reading their facial expretions, body language and the main action its self... The actors were great in the money you dont really need dialogs to tell whats happening if its funny their funny and if its serious their all out serious and deadly. Worth watching over and over again because you might not get it the first try [I dont undrerstand chinese so I rely on the subtitles]

Coolasafridgefullofcucumber!!! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This film oozes style from start to finish. The story was very well constructed to flow smoothly from scene to scene and the gunfights are some of the most stylish that I have seen in years. Anthony Wong steals the spotlight once again with his coolness: such a smooth fellow!
Overall, a good film for the boys. This movie is loud and bangin'!!!

 Constructed Like a Swiss Watch Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I saw this film at the Toronto International Film Festival. Among lovers of Hong Kong cinema, Johnnie To is legendary. He had three films showing in this year’s festival (Election (2005) and Election 2 (2006) screened together, as well as this film) and this was my first experience seeing one of his films. I’ll be seeking out some others. Exiled is an incredibly well-constructed film. It’s like a Swiss watch, with every scene precisely set up and choreographed and nothing wasted. To has created a self-contained world and set his characters loose in it. Set just around the time of Macau’s reversion to the Chinese government, it concerns a group of hit men who come together when their boss orders a hit on one of them. Two pairs of men arrive at the target’s new home. The first to warn him, the second to kill him. After a kinetic set piece involving three shooters, precisely 18 bullets, and the target’s wife and infant son, the group ends up helping still-alive Wo move furniture into his new place, before settling down to eat.

The mixture of action, comedy, and sentiment is probably a staple of Hong Kong gangster films, but I found it fresh. The plot continues when the assassins agree to give Wo some time to carry out one last job to make some cash for his soon to be widowed wife and orphaned child. Things don’t go as planned, however, and the film bumps along from set piece to set piece until an inevitable but satisfying end. Each choreographed set piece is set up in such a way as to heighten the anticipation, and you almost don’t mind that none of these trained killers seems to be a very good shot. It’s enough that they’re all ludicrously macho, swilling scotch from the bottle and smoking as they fire bullets at each other.

Seeing this one on the big screen is a must, just for the sound. The musical score, by Canadian Guy Zerafa, veered between James Bond and spaghetti westerns, with a bit of mournful harmonica thrown in. It worked perfectly, as did the fact that the viewer can hear every single shell casing hit the ground throughout the film. Even the gunshots themselves seemed different from those in American films, with less blast and more metallic sounds. It certainly helped create atmosphere. While this and the choreographed gunplay never let you forget you’re watching a created thing rather than any semblance of reality, that actually made me more appreciative of the creator. He’s certainly created another Johnnie To fan.
