1h 46m
Directed by Johnnie To • 2011 • Hong Kong
Starring Sean Lau Ching-wan, Richie Jen, Myolie Wu
Set against the turbulent backdrop of the 2008 banking crisis, this gripping, intricately constructed portrait of capitalism’s corruption of the soul follows three people—a police officer (Richie Jen), a bank employee (Denise Ho), and a low-level gangster (Sean Lau Ching-wan)—caught up in the fallout of the financial meltdown. Now, in desperation, they each must set aside their morals in order to survive. Masterfully interweaving the story’s multiple strands, director Johnnie To conjures a tense, darkly ironic vision of a world ruled by greed.
