Leave your thoughts about PTU.
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezStyle doesn't trump substance in Johnny To's quickie circus act PTU because the style is the substance. |
| About.comJurgen FauthFresh situations, haunting long takes, and a final showdown that is much more interesting than anything in Tarantino's Kill Bill make this film ... purely enjoyable. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Sukhdev SandhuCharacterisation, always a hit and miss affair in To's films, is deliberately rather thin. Instead, To and his cinematographer, Cheng Siu Keung, make the greasy, near-abandoned streets of the Hong Kong capital come alive |
| New York TimesElvis MitchellMr. To is a master of the game, and his command supplies pleasure, even when there are no surprises. |
| Independent (UK)Anthony QuinnThe droll opening, set in a restaurant where the pecking order is rigorously observed, gives way to a complicated but uninvolving cat-and-mouse game between the police and rival gangs. |
| Time OutTrevor JohnstonThe point of the exercise is really the unfolding of sundry edgy night-time encounters and action set-pieces, each constructed with To's customary patience, while his vision of Hong Kong after dark exudes an eerie calm that's cumulatively hypnotic. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...all the moody cinematography in the world can't disguise the inherently dull screenplay... |
| User ReviewJames Kstyle, Hong Kong, bent cops and gangsters. This stuff is like porn to me. |
| User ReviewKieran Tun autre film de johnny. bon déroulement, cocasse et on y retrouve le style à johnny au niveau des jeux de lumière. |
| User ReviewAdriano BThe longest night of the PTU, where the empty street of the city become the scenery for ordinary crime, ordinary corruption at every level:, where truth is the real victim but "life goes on". Works like a charm. |
