Time and Tide

“Trust is fatal.”

Tyler Yim (Nicholas Tse Ting-fung) is a streetwise young man in Hong Kong who takes a job as a bodyguard because it pays fast. He falls in with Jack Chow (Wu Bai), a mercenary who has just married and wants out of the life. Tsui Hark puts the two on the same side of an assassination plot, and the closer they get to the target, the less room there is for the friendship to last.
