  Yoji Yamada remakes the Yasujiro Ozu classic TOKYO STORY, which even becomes the 50th anniversary film of his director life. The new version adds the post earthquake fears and depicts modern Japan in details. It is more than a salute to its predecessor with a style of its own. After an earthquake, Mr. and Mrs. Hirayama who have lived on an island come to Tokyo to visit their three children. Eldest son Koichi runs a hospital, middle daughter Shigeko runs a beauty salon and the youngest son Shuji works in stage art designs. Although the children hope to take care of them the best they can, everyday their jobs inevitably make them neglect their parents. They thus arrange for the elderly parents to live in a luxury hotel, but the elders of course would like to be surrounded in their children's warmth. Luckily Shuji's fiance Noriko appears, her thoughtful and attentive care comforts the elders and finally relaxes them from worrying about their youngest son. At this beautiful moment, the aging mother suddenly collapses......

  Gangster-style Johnnie goes Mainland, and the result is one hell of an entry. Louis Koo is Timmy, a Hong Kong drug trafficker, while Mainland police captain Zhang, played by Sun Honglei, is out there to get him. Zhang at times succeeds in capturing Timmy, and at times Timmy slips from Zhang's grasp (or does he?). Cop and robber caught in a classical, ghostly dance; their loyalties are different but their psychologies are the same. Single-minded, brutal and almost cold-blooded, the two men will stop at nothing to destroy each other. The final bloodbath at a primary school sets a new standard for violence. Harrowing, chilling stuff from a master craftsman.
