I'm always in the mood for a grim crime thriller soaked in neon lights, and The Longest Nite delivers that in spades. Brutal bursts of violence and equally as brutal bursts of black comedy throughout the restaurants, the back streets, and the rooftops of Macau's labyrinthine urban sprawl, where no-one emerges unscathed. Another classic entry into the Johnnie To pantheon, and just one more reason why I gotta do a real deep dive into his work.
