Synopsis/Plot:
"[...]But in Billy Chan's The Legend of the Professional, most of these clichés get chucked in favor of presenting the audience with a far more ordinary type of assassin—as if the word "ordinary" could ever describe someone who makes a living killing people. There are few, if any, John Wooisms present in this film. There are no scenes of well-dressed combatants facing off in a deadly game of cat and mouse, each brandishing two guns as they blast bullets at each other in super slo-mo. And instead of John Woo's leading man of choice, Chow Yun-Fat, the so-called Steve McQueen of Hong Kong, we have Anthony Wong, perpetual HK supporting player, who turns in a fine performance as a more blue-collar type of killer. His character Ho does his job, gets his pay, and lives his life, much of which revolves around placating his doting mother (Helena Law-Lan). Though she lives in Vietnam, Ho's mother harangues our protagonist about his love life via the telephone. All in all, Ho's life sounds pretty normal —aside from the killing, of course.
But things change when Ho's mother decides to pay a visit to Hong Kong. Caught off guard by the news, Ho scrambles to find a suitable stand-in for the make believe girlfriend he's told his mother he's dating. With no other option, Ho makes do with Jenny (Josie Ho), a quirky young punk who's run afoul of some local triads. [...]" (lovehkfilm.com)
