Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In is the unicorn of Hong Kong action films, bringing the brash and raw adrenaline of the golden age, with a modern aesthetic, cohesive if not convenient plot and genuine emotions.
Sammo Hung’s presence not only legitimises this film as a proper HK actioner, but his grounded charisma elevates what is already a rock-solid showing by Louis Khoo, Raymond Lam, Phillip Ng and many others even when things get fantastic in the best of ways.
Don’t expect a perfect film – none of the 90’s HK films were – but Twilight definitely finds that magic formula and sprinkles its own 5 spice blend in. Director Soi Cheang is definitely one to look out for in future, imagine a gang war film where all the Big Brothers are Yuen Academy Alumni? The beauty of this film is it allows us to dream again, check it out!
