Peace Hotel
A criminal, known only as 'The King of Killers' (Chow Yun-Fat, in a possible nod to his famous role as the God of Gamblers), is guilt-ridden over his violent past and establishes the Peace Hotel, a refuge with a promise of sanctuary to those in need. When he takes in a woman with a troubled past, he must fight to keep that promise when a gang of vicious criminals comes after the woman. The protagonist is the quintessential Yun-Fat character, a killer haunted by remorse, in this action-packed take on the western genre. Peace Hotel is the last Hong Kong film that would feature Yun-Fat before his re-emergence in Hollywood in 1998 with The Replacement Killers. 1995 film directed by Ka-Fai-Wai and produced by John Woo. DTS/Digital Dolby Surround 5.1/All Code/NTSC with English subtitles. Color/88 mins. Mei Ah Entertainment.
