It is hard to fault the efficiency of a movie by Hong Kong director Johnnie To. His record proves it, and this new movie adds to that record. Life Without Principle is set in Hong Kong during the financial crisis, showing its effect on a diverse group of people: a bank executive, a police officer’s wife, a small time goon and the people around them. The story flows through these characters with a narrative only a good director can handle. His mastery shows in the taut editing, especially during the first act, and an absurdly funny scene of a stabbed man driving a car. Life Without Principle is an entertaining watch, in or out of the film festival.
