Exiled (2006) - Aka Fong Juk: Johnnie To's Masterpiece of Style and Loyalty
Johnnie To and his long-time cinematographer, Cheng Siu-Keung, chose to shoot Exiled with heavy contrast, rich amber tones, and extensive dark areas ( chiaroscuro styling).

The characters in Exiled live with the understanding that their lives may end at any moment, creating a poignant, almost romantic attitude toward their impending deaths.
You can see the meticulous framing of every shot. Johnnie To doesn't just film action; he choreographs geometry. The x264 encoding ensures that the dark suits of the hitmen and the shadows of the night scenes retain their depth without the crushing artifacts found in older rips.
