Synopsis:
In the mode of "Leon The Professional" and "La Femme Nikita" a former professional assassin has left his past behind and created a new and honest life for himself and his family. When events force him back into the world of crime he discovers that nothing even in his carefully designed new life is quite what it seems. Chart-topping Hong Kong singer and film idol Nicholas Tse stars as Tyler a streetwise 21-year-old Hong Kong native who takes a job as a bodyguard. He soon befriends a disillusioned mercenary Jack (popular Taiwan rocker Wu Bai) who is determined to make a fresh start with his new wife. Although the two men find themselves working together to foil an assassination attempt on Hong, Jack's new father-in-law, their partnership is short-lived: Gradually they are unknowingly propelled toward opposite sides of a deadly confrontation. An exciting thriller with an international cast, Time and Tide features intrigue, a breathless pace and a series of exhilarating action sequences staged with the explosive bravura that has become the signature of legendary action director Tsui Hark.
