    This picture does boast great acting, impeccable fashion sense and a taste for cinematic aesthetics, but the plot is unfortunately quite weak. Anthony Wong may have been effective in his portrayal and delivery of the "hangdog" uneasiness that characterizes the person split between loyalty to a brother and inevitable duty to perform a killing for his boss, but in general the brotherhood trail lacks a strong, coherent backbone. The exile into the sand dunes is symbolic of the film's title but sheds little contemplation on the tragedy of Wo's death, or the gangsters' inner turmoil.… Expand

    If you've never seen a Johnnie To crime picture, Exiled is a simple, stylish, and utterly delightful introduction.

    This is an accomplished suspense-action piece that touches on universal themes of brotherhood, exile, love and honor.

    Cast of regulars blends like those in a late-on Howard Hawks' movie.
