Hong Kong nihilism. December 22, a street quarrel leads to the death of a gang leader's son. Next day, he seeks revenge on his brother, a rival boss. He calls on Liu, a fixer, to import a hit man from the mainland. Lai Fu, a tough and youthful hick, arrives with a day pass. The cops, led by the morose Milo, hear about the killer; they open a full-scale Christmas Eve operation to find the warring brothers and Lai Fu. Lai Fu rescues a hooker, Dan Dan, from a sadist and asks her to help him find his way around Mongkok. By nightfall, Liu has double crossed Lai Fu, the brothers are hiding, the cops are everywhere, and Lai Fu and Dan Dan are on the run. Peace on earth, good will to all?
生活是出荒诞剧。寻常一夜的缘与孽。依然被低估的剧本杰作。旺角黑夜中的枪、杀手、妓女和警察。暧昧的警匪对话。世界。黑沉沉的夜，阴惨惨的旺角。黑夜。我只能说张柏芝很适合这个角色。“旺角”的变迁。
