The Longest Nite (Chinese: 暗花, Literal Title: Dark Flowers, a slang for an underworld contracted assassin) is a Hong Kong 1998 neo-noir action film directed by Patrick Yau (Expect the Unexpected). The film was produced by Johnnie To and Wai Ka-Fai along with their production company, Milkyway Image.
While a gang war is developing in Macau between two heads of Triads, corrupt cop Sam (Tony Leung Chiu-Wai) takes on a gunman in a restaurant where bald Tony (Lau Ching-Wan) is eating. After Sam goes to another mobster's restaurant where an informant is tortured, he finds a headless corpse in his apartment. Then a nightclub owner is murdered, and Sam moves fast to find the killer in an effort to prevent the gang war from escalating. However, he gets a full dose of action after he pins the crime on Tony.
