The poster for Johnnie To's Election has turned up online and it's a good one ...
I know, I know ... I said I wouldn't get worked up over Johnnie To films any more after being let down one (or three, or five) times too many, but ... but ... it's a TRIAD film! And it stars a stack of good actors! Simon Yam, Tony Leung Kar-fai, Wong Tin-lam, and Lam Suet amongst others. I'm so easily led ... Check out a larger version of the poster image here.
This one comes courtesy of Kaiju Shakedown, the new Variety-sponsored Asian film blog being written by Grady from Subway Cinema. I'd be bitter about him being paid by Variety to do what I do here for free except he's a great guy, he knows his stuff cold, and he's doing a fantastic job. Thus, rather than bitching, I have bookmarked his site so that I may pilfer shamelessly from it in the future. I suggest you do the same.

Considering most of Johnny To's films have been excellent, I don't see how this could be otherwise.

I have yet to see To that I hated - I haven't been crazy about some of his films, but I've enjoyed aspects of them all. I'll be seeing THROWDOWN on the big screen in Philly in a few weeks!
