Country: Hong Kong
Directer by Ringo Lam
Quentin Tarantino borrowed heavily in his famous 'Reservoir dogs' from this police /crime movie that is among the best of its genre in Hong Kong cinema. Without useless violence, unrealistic action scenes, supernatural characters but with a strong interesting plot and a rather discrete directing style, 'City on fire' , even having a lot of weak points, it gives the right direction that have to go such kind of movies. Regarding the story , for once more, the movie presents a classic theme : how policemen and outlaws are the different sides of the same coin. The undercover cop of the film feels attached with the criminals that he is mixed with , as is among them much more loyalty than among the rivals inspectors of police force.
