Not quite. It was more of an aged take on the HK triad genre akin to what The Gallants did for the Kung Fu genre. Overall, Red had more tone consistency. It was more tongue in cheek. Time was all over the board. It was really only funny during the fights. The rest was fairly tragic or melancholic. There was a strange grittiness, like in Lam’s relationship to his prostitute. That wasn’t graphic, more gaudy. Hard to describe really. Obtuse HK cinema.
It did have some great settings that captured HK well, some extraordinary location shots that made HK look so post apocalyptic. Still not D00M recommending it except maybe for the cfs who’ve been to HK and might be amused at the perspective on it.
