Synopsis
Exiled (放·逐, 2006) is a Hong Kong crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Johnnie To. Set in Macau in 1998, one year before the peninsula's handover to China. Anthony Wong and Simon Yam lead a cast of veteran Hong Kong actors.
Two gunmen arrive with orders to kill a former gang member who has settled down with a family on the island. Two more arrive to protect him. All four know each other. The standoff in a cramped apartment turns into something that's less about the job than about whether old loyalties still mean anything.
To shoots it like a Western — long silences, pistols arranged in the frame like still-life paintings, violence that arrives precise and brief. This is a film about the way men act toward each other when they know something is ending. Stream Exiled (2006) online on iFILM.
