Serve It Up!
Johnnie To is one of the Hong Kong filmmakers whose work is extremely popular in his homeland and is critically regarded elsewhere. His work is seen here primarily through the medium of DVD and Cable and the occasional action film festival release or "special screening."
He doesn't get the respect he richly deserves here in the states - at least not on par with the likes of Woo or Yuen or others - but he has a unique style and perspective he brings to genre material. Check out this movie and others in his filmography.
You'll be glad you did.

Bill, there doesn't seem to be a picture on the embed. There's sound but nothing else.
Nope - it's working. Make sure your softwares up to date.
Hi Bill,
we do not know each other and I discovered your blog I am Vince, a young guy who tweet' about cinema (that's my account: http://twitter.com/Moviesfollower) I don't know when the film released in the UK/US, but I know a person who worked on the shooting of the last Johnnie To's movie "vengeance". He was able to get some pictures that I put on You Tube

All the best
