Hong Kong action maestro Johnnie To teams up with pop icon Johnny Hallyday (“the French Elvisâ€) for some cross-cultural kick-ass revenge that brings Hallyday, as Costello, weather-beaten gangster-turned-chef, together with a clutch of To’s most charismatic gun-toting regulars. When Asian mobsters make a lethal strike at the heart of Costello’s family, the grizzled Parisian speeds to Macau, where bullets prove to be the universal language in his search for allies in settling scores. In English, French, Cantonese, and Mandarin with English subtitles. 35mm widescreen. (BS)
