Extreme, violent and unforgiving, A Hero Never Dies is a thriller in the form of a modern-day Western -- a rarified, metaphysical no-man's-land of brutal power play in which two professional killers are caught up in a ferocious, endless fight between rival triads. Johnnie To, a brilliant director of action films and a wizard at handling actors, centers the film emotionally on the two hired guns -- men who leave parallel lives and are joined by the same destiny, and who end up transforming their mutual esteem into a tragic alliance.
