I just re-watched this after all these years....and remembered why I liked it so much the first time round (saw on a flight to HK). The first three quarters of the film is really good; the last part in NY has some contrived sequences but still ok.

Maggie Cheung gave a great performance, her expressive face and eyes put to good effect. Hmmm, I think I'm beginning to warm up to her! :-)

Also, the film provides a chilling reminder how fast things changed in that part of the world (China having now advanced considerably over HK and the rest of the world, the hierarchy is somewhat reversed).

For me, this film crossed the line from rental to keeper.
