Synopsis
Leon Lai is a hired killer tired of his job and thinking of quitting. Michelle Reis is a prostitute who, in addition to finding orders for them, does Leon's dirty work for him. But she is passionately in love with him, even though they have never met in person. Interspersed with this story we meet a young mute, Takeshi Kaneshiro, who, living with his father, has a difficult existence due to his physical handicap. His days are spent between the disparate night jobs and serve as comfort to a young woman cheated on by her boyfriend.

Critics' reviews
  • "Even Wong's detractors, who consider him more stylist than auteur, will have a tough time dismissing the extraordinary emotional depth he achieves here."
  • "An exhilarating rush of a movie"
  • "'Fallen Angels' certainly abounds in visual pizazz, clever in jokes and trendy pop references, but such things can carry a movie only so far."
  • "Wong Kar-Wai's cinematic style is unmistakable: hip, colorful and energetic and the film's frenetic pacing and exuberant camera work make the streets of Hong Kong a neon wonderland"
  • "Dull it is not, but Wong's trademark sense of romantic melancholy fails to jell amid all the excess"
  • "To describe the plot is to miss the point. 'Fallen Angels' takes the materials of the plot -- the characters and what they do -- and assembles them like a photo montage. At the end, you have impressions, not conclusions."
