Directed by Johnnie To • 2004 • Hong Kong
Starring Nick Cheung Ka-fai, Richie Jen, Kelly Chen

Opening with a dazzling, seven-minute-long tracking shot and never letting up from there, this typically dynamic action thriller from director Johnnie To explores the gulf between the truth and what the media and those in charge want us to know. They were meant to take down a gang of robbers, but when a violent shootout goes horribly wrong, the police find themselves in an embarrassing position. Through media manipulation and even more violence, the cops try to balance the scales.
