Devil Face, Angel Heart is a 2002 Hong Kong thriller film directed by Billy Chung.
Plot
The movie begins as Long (Daniel Wu), born with a disfigured face, and his brother Kwan work as assassins for the notorious Hong Kong triad leader, "Dinosaur." Dinosaur is involved in drugs, fire arms, prostitution, human trafficking and many more crimes. Every night he is at his mansion, Wendy (Gigi Lai), his girlfriend, must be waiting for him in his bedroom. Dinosaur would sexually torture Wendy in the room. Everytime, Wendy would walk up to Long, bruised up from her boyfriend. Long told her not to look at him because he was afraid that his face will scare her. However, Wendy told him that the man that she sleeps with every night is a hundred times scarier. Wendy also warned Long to leave Dinosaur with his brother when they still have a chance. Long refused but instead, promised Wendy to kill Dinosaur during his business trip to Taiwan. Wendy told them that she will tell her uncle to bring them back to Hong Kong if they succeed.

Why this record matters
“Devil Face, Angel Heart” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Devil, Face and Angel provides the most credible route into that argument.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5267289. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2002.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
