Just watched another HK flick I hadn't seen for about 5 or 6 years, and only had a vague memory of. The Peace Hotel, starring Chow Yun Fat, directed by John Woo.

Premise: Ex-killer loses the love of his life in a killing spree, and decides to give up the gun, instead opening the Peace Hotel, a safe haven for anyone, as long as they pay the rent. No matter who you are, no matter what you did, as long as you pay, you're guaranteed safety. In front of the gate, lies the rusty sword embedded into the ground, the original used in the massacre, marking the line of saftey.

All of this is done in a western style too!

Great stuff, check it out.
