Starring Chow Yun-fat, Danny Lee, Sun Yueh
This sizzling, highly influential crime drama from explosive genre stylist Ringo Lam stars Chow Yun-fat as Ko Chow, an undercover cop torn between his duty as a police officer and his loyalty to his friends on the wrong side of the law. He wants out, and his commanding officer reluctantly approves his resignation—but only after he completes one final assignment. Tasked with infiltrating a notorious gang of criminals, Chow bonds with their leader (Danny Lee), building a relationship based on mutual respect. But when a planned heist turns into a violent shootout with the law, the tension among the thieves heats up . . . and they begin to suspect there is an informant in their midst.
