Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Moon to was showed on 2007, it was direct by the famous Hong Kong director Tung Shing Yee. This film combines with criminal, discourse and thriller. The story told about an undercover police—Nick took part in an organization which was make heroin. Nick has followed with Banker for about 8 years, he wanted to dig the most deeply secrets of this organization out and damaged the biggest heroin marketing. In his pretending life, he was fall in love with his neighbor—Fen, who was addicted to drugs, it makes Nick confusing and angry, he began hated the producer of drugs, it caused Nick wanted to arrest even quicker, but on the other hand, Nick was very contradict, because he has along with Banker for 8 years, he did not understand who he is, a police or a bad guy. In this film, Andy Lau was act Banker, in front of his wife, daughter, he was very gentle and very care about his daughter. Besides, he had a dark side, no compassion. In order to make the biggest benefits, he did not care other people. Nick's neighbor –Fen, drugs for long time, at the beginning when Nick met Fen until Fen die on the sofa, her expression was same, it seems to emphasize that the drugs user life has no vitality, she tried to give up drugs, but at the end, her death make the audiences sick. Fen's husband also was a drug user; he always tempted Fen to drug with him and sold his daughter to make money to buy drugs. Director expressed the relationships between buyer and user, drug is very experience, buyers make advantage to get more money, drug users in order to have drugs exposed the cruelty of human nature. Through this film, audience has deeply realized the details about drugs. Moon to is a heavy film, it makes people thought-provoking. Expect actors, director make the atmosphere changed somber, the red gorgeous sofa, the hand, and a lot of mouse, these images make people shaken. It was tell people that drugs is harmful to people, it not only bad for health, but also can change a family and it is enough to destroy a life.

I saw this last month at the 2008 Palm Springs International Film Festival. The title of this film I believe is Munto not Moon To as listed here on IMDb and this Munto film is not to be confused with the Japanese animee movies of the same name. This is a gangster thriller set in Hong Kong. Nick (Daniel Wu) has spent his entire police career infiltrating a major drug organization led by Kwan (Andy Lau). Nick went straight from the police academy to undercover work and has never worn a uniform or even been inside a police station. For the past seven years he has worked his way up drug lord Kwan's organization that he is in a position to be Kwan's heir to his drug empire. Kwan, in fact, has selected Nick as his heir apparent because he is dying from the long-term results of diabetes. In the meantime Nick has been living in an inner city apartment where his next door neighbor Fan (Zhang Jingchu) is a pretty single mother whose low level drug dealing, heroin addicted husband (Louis Koo) drifts in and out of her and her daughter's life when he isn't in jail to pimp her out. Fan has also become a heroin addict. Nick develops a relationship with Fan and acts as a surrogate father to her little daughter. Nick has also become very close to Kwan. Thius is a good story from writer/director Derek Yee. Within the story line, it takes us to Burma and Thailand and complete with charts and graphs, almost becomes an educational anti-drug documentary on the workings of the Asian heroin trade within the Golden Triangle. Excellent cinematography by Keung Kwok-man and editing by Kwong Chi-Leung. Good production design by Yee Chung-man with Academy Award nominated costume designer/art director Chung Man Yee on board as a consultant. Fast-paced original music score by Peter Kam. This is a good movie and I would give it a 8.0 out of 10 and recommend it.

Andy Lau stars in another cop undercover tale. Daniel Wu plays Nick who is working for the cops and is also close to the top of a drug dealing gang(Lau). The movie begins as we watch the police try to make a drug bust only to see it go to pieces. We then are introduced to the young drug addicted mother and her daughter living near Nick and to his cronies and the cops, and 45 minutes in I shut off the movie and put on the news. Well acted and great to look at this is as uninvolving a movie as I've seen in a long time. Its not bad as such its just you really don't care. I mean I really didn't care at all. I actually started to do something else completely forgetting I had on a subtitled movie on, thats how much I didn't care. I wish I could have hated the film but the film is such a nonentity that it made almost no impression on me (its not even something I could sleep to its just something to ignore). Come on the box called it the Chinese Scarface,what after he was dead? This is one to avoid.

With a good, solid story, a movie doesn't need an "Infernal affair" type of convoluted script to succeed. "Protégé" is a perfect example. There are two strong story lines, none of them particularly novel, converging on drug-busting undercover cop Nick (Daniel Wu). After seven years' hard and dangerous work, he is close to winning full confidence of heroin kingpin Kwan (Andy Lau), ready for the big kill. At about the same time, he starts to develop a delicate relationship with pretty single mother Jane (Zhang Jingchu), starting out as his innocent good-natured intention to help her and her little daughter. And three cheers to the movie makers for sparing us yet another trip into the realm of undercover-syndrome complex. Thank you very much - there's been more than enough. Nick is a good guy, period.Some say that the true protagonist in this movie is heroin, and that is not far from the truth. Very apparently, a lot of effort has been put into researching the subject. Close-up, we see production of the stuff in the "kitchen" (i.e. the secret factory) with such detail that it look like a chemistry lesson we had in high school. We are then given some rather disturbing insight into how Kwan's organization operates, by absolute compartmentalization for maximum security – the "need-to-know" rule is applied to the utmost. Finally, on the global scale, we are shown the massive poppy fields in the Golden Triangle, and at the same time brought to understand that heroin is really a "sunset industry", giving way to youth-oriented drugs. There are also shrewd remarks such as the UN's reports on drug dealing becoming drug dealers' "marketing guide".But this is not a clinical documentary. It's an intensely human story. To carry it, we need some good acting, and we have it.Wu, as mentioned, plays a simple good guy which is not a huge challenge. He delivers. Andy Lau fans should enjoy his role here, which is quite unlike anything he had before. Here is an interesting portrayal of an evil criminal into an almost sympathy-earning character – a devoted family man who is also a continually suffering invalid. The most interesting bit of psychology is his self-absolving logics, putting the blame on the end-users with such vehement intensity that the self-serving mentality is only too clear. Kwan (and all of the few in his closest confidants, for that matter) is squeaky clean when it comes to drug usage. To him, this is only a business of supply and demand. If some junkie out there wants the stuff, someone is going to sell it to them and get rich, so it may as well be Kwan himself. The movie comes dangerously to letting such a criminal getting away easily with such atrocity, had it not been for another character, Jane.Jane is just such a junkie, and through Zhang's heart-wrenching portrayal, the audience see what drug addiction really is and the monstrosity of the people behind it. That is truly an infernal affair. Those who have seen Zhang in "Seven swords" know how good she is in portraying a character in an neurotic state of mind (in that movie it was shock from nearly being killed by a sword swinging bandit). But those who have also seen the little-known movie "Huayao bride in Shangrila" know further that she is an extremely versatile actress, as she plays there a witty, playful, mischievous young bride that delights at every turn. Zhang Jingchu is one Mainland actress to keep an eye open for.It's quite true that this movie is formulaic and predictable, but it works, thanks to Yee Tung-shing's capable direction. But even a director as traditional as Yee cannot avoid putting in one or two grotesque "shock" scenes (think Johnny To's "Election" series). Here, we have humour as black as you want with a guy's hand not chopped off by a knife, but smashed off by repeated blows from a hammer. Owner of said hand is one of the best character actors in town Liu Kai-chi, whose "Fu Bo" is still among the top local indies. While on such matters, I must compliment Louis Koo Tin-lok on his delightful portrayal of a character that is beneath contempt, Jane's junkie husband.
