BISHONEN ISN'T ALWAYS SKIN-DEEP 
One of the best Gay themed films to come out of the Hong Kong cinema. As the title declares, beauty is everywhere in this movie, from the cinematography, the music, right down to four of the hottest male stars around today (Daniel Wu, Stephen Fong, Terence Yin and Jason Tsang). Daniel Wu in his first screen role shows he has got what it takes to hold an audience’s attention. Wu plays Sam, a tortured police officer that cannot embrace his homosexuality, but cannot deny either. His inability to except who he is causes him to runaway from those he loves. This makes the overly melodramatic end of the film understandable yet unfulfilling. The ending it regrettable but the steamy shower scene between Sam and the up-in-coming rock star played by Terence Yin is unforgettable! The character that steals the picture not to mention your heart is Jet, the narcissistic male escort/call boy exquisitely portrayed by Stephen Fong. He plays Jet with all the arrogance the part demands, but then gives the character an honest vulnerability that brings tears to your eyes. Director Yonfan may have been inspired by the real-life scandal of a few Hong Kong Police officers who were willing to be photographed in and out of uniform, but ended up with a beautiful film of people interwoven in purpose and passion. The 2003 DTS DVD addition is incredible in both video and sound! This is a MUST HAVE DVD!!
