This tense Hong Kong crime thriller is known best as the film upon which Quentin Tarantino borrowed heavily for his 1992 debut, Reservoir Dogs.
City on Fire, directed by Ringo Lam, has its story told in a more traditional narrative form than Reservoir Dogs, following Chow Yun-Fat as Ko Chow, an undercover cop who infiltrates a ring of jewel thieves. When a heist goes wrong, Chow is wounded, and tension among the robbers escalates as they begin to suspect a traitor among their ranks. Film students and action fans alike will be engrossed with this gripping thriller.
