Wikipedia article
'Fulltime Killer' is a 2001 Hong Kong action film produced and directed by Johnnie To, and also written, produced and directed by Wai Ka-fai, and also produced by and starring Andy Lau. The film was released on 3 August 2001.
The film is based on Pang Ho-cheung's novel of the same name. It is informally known by Hong Kong English title 'You & I'.
Plot
Based on a book by Hong Kong filmmaker Pang Ho-cheung, 'Fulltime Killer' protagonist O is a hitman being challenged by new hotshot Lok Tok-wah. O has lived a life of seclusion as the number one hitman in Asia. The woman living at his contact address is captured after O foils a set-up by his boss. He then goes on the run while trying to fend off his adversary. The last part of the movie focuses on an Interpol detective's attempt to write the story of Tok and O.
