Banished overseas after attempting to assassinate his Triad boss, Wo has resurfaced in Macau with a wife and newborn child in tow. When two of his former colleagues are sent to kill Wo, and two more show up determined to protect him, the five men find themselves forced to reconcile their personal history with their professional code of honor. With brilliantly choreographed gunfights and heartfelt themes of loyalty and responsibility, Exiled is poised to be the definitive Johnnie To film, and possibly the best Hong Kong film of the decade.
