About A True Mob Story
A low level gangster in Hong Kong gains new respect after saving a boss's life in a gang fight. Despite his wife's death in this attack, he appears to be moving up in the Triad family until he discovers the other bosses are not looking out for him when he is double crossed and the gangster he previously hospitalized in the gang fight comes back for revenge.
Directed by Wong Jing, A True Mob Story leans on a strong ensemble — Andy Lau, Gigi Leung Wing-Kei, Suki Kwan Sau-Mei — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1998.
