 | | The Film: Ostensibly As Tears Go By takes the Mean Streets blueprint, an older, gaining sensibility gangster looking out for a reckless and wild younger cohort, and turns the idea into a character study of low level Chinese gangsters and the pressures of being on the bottom rung in the criminal underworld. |
 | | The Story: Brother Wah (Andy Lau- Fulltime Killer, Days of Being Wild, God of Gamblers) is an aimless low level gangster, who is not in the least bit ambitious about rising up in the criminal underworld. |
 | | Wah begins to consider leaving the gangster life and settling down with Ngor, but he cannot forsake his younger brother, who has massed massive debts, resentments, and in trying to be more powerful gangster may foolishly take on an assignment that will endanger both of their lives. |
