The Blacksheep Affair
The Blacksheep Affair contains everything you expect
from a Hong Kong action movie: high-flown themes of
love, honour and betrayal, blood-spattering shootouts,
hyperkinetic fight scenes enacted with balletic precision
and grace, and superhuman speed, and a touch of moral
ambiguity. The actual plot is not really that important.

him back "above ground". However she joins him, and together they go on the run, avoiding and seeking to expose
the powerful men hunting them.
Rites of Passage (10)
