Tagline: In 1930's Shanghai violence was not the problem. It was the solution.

Plot: A visually dazzling gangster film from director Zhang Yimou. Nightclub singer Xiao Jingbao lives a pampered life as the mistress of Shanghai godfather Mr. Tang. However, she gets in over her head after she begins an affair with Song, Mr. Tang's number two man, who wants to wrench control of the crime dynasty.

Eventually, Xiao Jingbao finds herself caught in the middle of a mob war. Forced to leave behind her life of luxury and go into hiding with Mr. Tang, she gradually realizes just how expendable she is to both men.

We see all this through the eyes of Shuisheng, a 14-year-old boy whose uncle has brought him into the Tang Brotherhood. Assigned the task of keeping watch over Xiao Jingbao, he ultimately becomes her sole, trusted confidante.
