Synopsis
If you have seen Quentin Tarantino’s RESERVOIR DOGS, you will understand immediately why the comparisons between that film and this one were so pervasive. But quite apart from that, CITY ON FIRE is its own movie. Chow Yun-fat and Danny Lee appear, as they would again in THE KILLER. Chow plays a deeply embedded undercover cop, hunted and despised by all, until the final Mexican standoff.
