This is Lau Ching Wan at his best. This film is another reason why he has proclaimed the acting crown of Chow Yun Fat once he left Hong Kong to do movies in the US. Many of Lau Ching Wan's movies have him characterized as the cool cop you would wanna hang with or the lovable hard-on-his-luck guy that girls can't help [but]feel something for. In the Longest Nite, he is just a pure bad-ass with a bald head. The taxi scene and his conversation in his holding cell with Tony Leung are worth the purchase of this movie alone! DO buy it!
I've know about Tont Leung for awhile now and know that he is a superb chinese actor. He was the undercover cop in the movie "Hardboiled" with Chow Yun Fat. In this movie he is cool, as other reviewers have noted, he plays a corrupt cop. You really have to pay attention watching this movie. The little details such as phone numbers of a restaurant and the number written on a hand of a headless corpse. My favorite part is where the assasin tells Sam that he'll know what will happen in an hour, talk about suspense. This movie was made in 1998 is I'am not mistaken. The languages that are only available for this movie are cantonese and mandarin. The pace that the subtitles appear is a bit fast, becomes even more important because there is no wasted dialog in this movie. Longest nite is a bit violent, Sam likes to snap off fingernails as a form of torture and he is generally sadistic.
"The Longest Nite" is a dark, moody movie with a minimum of gunplay at first, but no lack of violence, that builds to a tense (but sadly unrealistic) climax. Lau Ching Wan, a Milkyway regular, plays the deadly calm Tony, a mysterious figure in disco denim who crosses paths in Macau with self-professed "bad cop" Sam, played by Tony Leung Chiu Wai. Lau is the baddest of the bad. I'm tempted to call him "the Asian Benicio Del Toro," and not just because there's a physical resemblance. Lau is the coolest guy to walk Portland Street since Chow Yun Fat left for Hollywood. And in many ways, LCW even surpasses CYF's coolness.
Leung's rumpled Sam--quite a departure from the suave Tony/Alan in "Hard-Boiled"--is not just a bad cop, but cruel, too. He spends the movie crushing the hands of hit men and sticking ice picks under their fingernails. Sam is trying to keep the peace between Mr. K and Mr. Lung, a couple of adversarial triad bosses trying to break out from under the thumb of Mr. Hung, the Biggest Boss. Only thing is, everybody starts turning up dead, and fingers (and guns) start pointing at Sam.
In staging the final confrontation between Sam and Tony, director Patrick Yau Tat Chi pulls out all the stops with the gunplay, but also throws out all the logic: apparently in HK there are abandoned warehouses with hundreds of mirrors strategically arranged in an upright position? Instead of the over-the-top firearms action that steps decisively into "enough already" territory, "TLN" would have been much more satisfying with a short, brutal hand-to-hand fight between the two bad guys, followed by the nifty little twist at the end that makes you go "hmm." Maggie Shiu gives both the strangest and the most fascinating performance in the film, as a neurotic club hostess who is not what she seems.
The DVD transfer is above average, but it's too bad it wasn't better--the picture is somewhat diffuse, and there is noticeable ghosting, particularly in night shot--because "TLN" boasts excellent cinematography and editing, with some funky and innovative scene transitions, quirky establishing shots, and visual flourishes. The music, however, is another story: the major musical piece is Giorgio Moroder's theme from "Midnight Express" (if memory serves). Which is not a bad piece of music, but why not make some of your own? "Composer" Raymond Wong answers that question by starting the flick with a light, happy 12-bar synth blues piece that not only doesn't fit the mood of the movie, but returns to suck every last bit of tension from what should have been a very dramatic confrontation between Lau and Leung. It's a shame, because cheesy music is one of my major peeves about HK flicks, and some of Wong's other original music is pretty damn good. Of course, the ripping of the "Midnight Express" (or was it "Scarface"?) music calls into question the originality of the rest of the score, but Wong shows promise. Too bad he couldn't (or wasn't allowed to) write something a little more fitting.
While the movie's sound is not great, and the voice and effects sync is noticeably off, the Universe DVD includes the most extras I've seen on an HK disc, including star files and a movie trailer; a short "premiere show" with comments from Leung, Lau, and To, and an appearance by Simon Yam; a "making of" featurette; NG footage; and a press conference (Cantonese, no subs).
I have a great deal of respect for Johnnie To Kei Fung and Wai Ka Fai's Milkyway Image Productions. Milkyway is committed to making interesting movies with style, and their efforts put them head and shoulders above the usual profiteering hacks that dominate the HK movie industry. "The Longest Nite" is a solid and noteworthy bit of originality in the middle of a sea of hasty rip-offs and sequels. Now if they would only pay as much attention to the music as they do to the cinematography, they'd have, hands down, the best product on the market.
The Longest Nite is a very, VERY dark Hong Kong thriller starring Tony Leung as an extremely bad cop having an extremely bad night - you know, the usual round of smashing hoodlums' gun hands, torturing suspects and witnesses alike, finding a headless body in his apartment with a locker number written on its hand, being set up to kill the crimelord he works for: probably all in day's work in Macau.
While the first 20 minutes or so are very grim and exceptionally merciless, when the plot kicks in and the wheels start turning and the fingers start pointing, it actually becomes a gripping little number, with one quite superb sequence at a ferry station as the walls start to come crashing down on our anti-hero. Sadly the last 20 minutes are average shoot-em-up stuff that lacks the ingenuity of the central sting, but if you can stomach the violence it's well worth a look. Leung in particular is ideally cast - he has the perfect hangdog face for this kind of character, conveying world-weariness, confusion and desperation without seeming to need to make any effort.
C'est certain, "The Longest Nite" possède une atmosphère urbaine visuellement prenante et un casting aux petits oignons.
Tony Leung Chiu-wai dans un rôle à l'opposé moral d'A Toute Epreuve et un Lau Ching-Wan plus flegmatique que jamais font merveille.
Le scénario, en revanche, m'a plutôt laissé de marbre, fonctionnel le temps d'un visionnage mais d'une redondance assez agaçante.
La musique quasiment inintérompue durant au moins les deux premiers tiers du film dont certains thèmes reviennent trop continuellement achève d'en faire un polar au pouvoir de séduction des plus bancal.
Le combo Spectrum Film propose une copie hd indéniable assez séduisante et près d'une heure de bonus agréablement informatifs (et complémentaires) quant aux conditions d'élaboration du scénario, du contexte historique cinématographique et un focus sur le studio de production "Milkyway Image". Yannick Dahan donne son avis avec gouaille et Johnnie To parle de son travail dans une interview.
J'invite à aller directement sur leur site car vous trouverez des longs-métrages non vendus ailleurs (à part quelques rares boutiques indépendantes). Leur catalogue (le plus souvent combos dvd/blu ray plus rarement uniquement blu ray) s'agrandit de plus en plus avec un désir de qualité et de diversités évidentes et constantes. En plus, vous recevrez, à chaque commande, un dvd de leur catalogue en cadeau.
Una schifezza schifosa: meraviglia che Mereghetti lo giudichi molto buono (fortunatamente, a volte, nell'edizione successiva cambia completamente recensione). Film incomprensibile, idiota, improbabile (ma nessuno ha notato che un'auto sfasciata poche ore dopo ricompare intatta????). Violenza gratuita a go-go: il regista dovrebbe essere arrestato per istigazione alla violenza. Due gli elementi positivi: 1) il titolo, che si legge con difficoltà solo sul verso e sul dorso (evidentemente si vergognavano di stamparlo in grande nel recto), e la durata limitata. Una vergogna.
Per i fan dell'action made in Hong-kong assolutamente da non perdere. Uno dei crime cinesi migliori in assoluto in un'ottima confezione sia sotto il profilo audio/video sia per i contenuti speciali. Gran acquisto
