"Express" raises the bar on expectations of Hong Kong cinema, it's a real gem. Don't neglect the Soundtrack, it greatly adds to the atmospherics; the Deep bassy Cantonese Punk/Rap track while the hitman goes about his business in the gambling den makes almost any scene by Tarantino seem lightweight in comparison. If you liked this: "Killing Zoe" by Roger Avary has a similar level of atmosphere, cinematography, mayhem and wackiness. Tarantino did the screen play for "Zoe".
