About this movie

Joe (Chow Yun Fat), Jim (Leslie Cheung) and Sherry (Cherie Chung) are three burglars in the museum circuit in Europe. They are all orphans raised by Mr Chow (Ken Tsang) who has trained them to be thieves. The three are close to each other and live together in a boathouse on the Seine in Paris. Joe just wants one last job before marrying Sherry and settling down. However, they are set up by Mr Chow who would rather see them dead than retired. Daring, breathtaking scenes can be found throughout the film, especially in the end, when they seek the ultimate revenge on Mr Chow.
