Time (Chinese: 殺出個黃昏) is a 2021 Hong Kong black comedy film directed by Ricky Ko and co-written by Gordon Lam and Pinky Ho. Starring Patrick Tse, Petrina Fung, Lam Suet, and Chung Suet Ying, the film follows a retired killer (Tse) who returns to business by providing euthanasia to the suffering elderly, and finds a new life purpose through an encounter with an orphaned young client (Chung).
Conceived by writer Pinky Ho in 2014, the screenplay was initially rejected by multiple production companies before actor Gordon Lam attached himself to the project as co-writer, producer, and major investor, marking Lam's screenwriting debut. The duo spent four years rewriting the screenplay, before Lam invited Ricky Ko to helm the project. Filming commenced in September 2019 and wrapped in October, with post-production taking place in Hong Kong and Malaysia.
The film premiered at the 45th Hong Kong International Film Festival on 4 April 2021, followed by a theatrical release in Hong Kong on 15 July. It won three awards in the 28th Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards, and received five nominations in the 40th Hong Kong Film Awards, with Patrick Tse winning Best Actor, making him the oldest recipient of the award.
