Very well built film, i've seen it almost by accident - just got an opportunity and decided to use it.
I've never seen any films of Mr Ka-Fai Wai and Mr Johnnie To before, so i was a bit skeptical at start. my skepticism was pretty quickly driven away by the movie, and at the end I was really satisfied. May be because this movies message is somehow close to me, but still, acting was very good, directing and editing are awesome. some scenes put a huge smile on my face with a really great warm feeling inside, like the one with rain sent by god, or when he is shouting "She don't see you!". I agree with some previous comments that Hollywood can mostly reproduce some ideas like this - its worth a million alone, without huge budget spent on stars and visuals.
Should add that soundtrack was a very nice one. Overall i would recommend this almost to anyone except hardcore mainstream fans.
ps i am rating this 10 to compensate some downrates. this movie deserves 8+ no doubt, i would score it 8.5/10.
