A streetwise young man becomes a bodyguard to score quick cash. He soon befriends a once disillusioned mercenary determined to make a fresh start with his new wife. Although the two men find themselves working together to foil an assassination attempt, their partnership is short-lived. Through uncontrollable circumstances, they will unknowingly be propelled toward the opposite sides of a deadly confrontation.
A noir infused Hong Kong action thriller from Tsui Hark (Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain; Once Upon a Time in China) starring Nicholas Tse and Wu Bai (who would later appear together in New Police Story), Time and Tide was nominated for six Hong Kong film awards and remains one of Hark's most acclaimed features.

This movie has been one of my guilty favourites for many years, since I saw it on an imported Hong Kong DVD. It's a fun action movie with some great set pieces and a fair bit of heart. It's in equal parts derivative of the Hong Kong action genre (and what certain popular Hollywood films did with that in later years), but it can also be surprisingly original. It's not up to the level of genre classics like Hard-boiled, The Killer or City On Fire, but it's definitely a fun ride. The Blu-ray is a massive upgrade from the DVD I used to have.
