Newly Added • 1h 39m

Directed by Ringo Lam • 1997 • Hong Kong
Starring Sean Lau Ching-wan, Francis Ng, Amanda Lee

Director Ringo Lam’s return to the Hong Kong film industry following his short-lived Hollywood sojourn also marked a return to form, showcasing the gritty intensity and unflinching moral complexity that give his films their punch. Convinced that gangster Mak Kwan (Francis Ng) is involved in planning a major heist, police inspector Pao (Sean Lau Ching-wan) doggedly pursues him in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse that drives him beyond the bounds of his profession and down a path of escalating violence and obsession.
