So imagine these 5 guys, closest of friends since childhood, and they're all now the deadliest hit men in Macau. One of them, Wo, has shot his former boss and escaped to live a normal life. To raise a family. Not liking his hidey-hole, he returns to Macau. Only hours after his return, his former boss has sent his best hitman pair to take him down. Yes, that's 3 of the 5 so far. The final two are determined to protect Wo from the other two. So the gang is once again back together! That's where the movie starts.
From here you begin a fantastic ride that is not just a great action movie (where faceless goons can't hit anything and named characters never miss) but also the story of an incredible friendship.
Also, this movie is filled with great scenes and characters. As an example: Without Wo, the group of 4 is incomplete and can't seem to make a decision, the coin they toss to decide for them is the 5th member of their group, a unique running joke.
Eventually they meet up with another skilled gunman and he becomes the 5th member of the group. I imagine it is with him that the story continues, since this is said to be a prequel to some other movie. He's a great character, so if his story is told as well as this one then I should definitely look into getting the next movie in this series.
