Exiled (Chinese: 放‧逐; Cantonese Yale: Fong3‧zuk6) is a 2006 Hong Kong action drama film produced and directed by Johnnie To, and starring Anthony Wong, Francis Ng, Nick Cheung, Josie Ho, Roy Cheung and Lam Suet, with special appearances by Richie Jen and Simon Yam.
In 1998 Macau, former mobster Wo (Nick Cheung) lives quietly with his wife, Jin (Josie Ho), and his newborn child in a nondescript apartment, having turned over a new leaf.
But vengeful mobster Boss Fay (Simon Yam)—whom Wo once tried to assassinate—has dispatched a pair of ageing hitmen to cut that peaceful existence short.
After a brief showdown, the whole group comes to an uneasy truce, lay their weapons down and bond over dinner— after all, these men grew up together in the same gang.
Reunited and hungry for another score, they visit a fixer called Jeff (Cheung Siu-fai), who gives the gang the job of killing a rival boss, Boss Keung (Gordon Lam), as well as telling them about the location of a large quantity of gold being transported for a corrupt official.
The two bosses come to an agreement to share territory and profits, further agreeing to kill the gang of friends.
Having narrowly escaped the restaurant shootout the friends decide to take a severely shot Wo to an underground clinic for medical assistance.
The door is answered and both Fay and Keung burst in seeking help for their injuries sustained in the restaurant shootout.
Quick thinking Fat seeing that his friend has come to rest on some tarpaulin pulls Wo to safety and the gang escape.
Handing Wo's body over to his wife, Jin, she demands to know what has happened and in her grief opens fire on Blaze and Tai who run away.
After coming across the heavily guarded convoy carrying the gold, they flip a coin to decide whether to hijack it or not.
Determined to protect Jin after Wo's death, the friends agree and leave the officer at the dock with the gold telling him they will return by dawn.
It was later released in the United States with an R-rating by the MPAA "for strong violence and some sexual content."
Magnolia Pictures acquired the North American rights of Exiled and the film was given a limited release as of 31 August 2007.
However, the film also delivers what every longtime Milkyway fan is probably looking for, and it does so with a gusto that's exciting and exhilarating.
