PTU

Newly Added • 1h 28m

Directed by Johnnie To • 2003 • Hong Kong
Starring Simon Yam, Maggie Siu Mei-kei, Lam Suet

Director Johnnie To’s propulsive action choreography and vivid feeling for the seedy corners of the neon-soaked Hong Kong night world are on full display in this stylishly moody thriller, one of the director’s most acclaimed efforts. When a bumbling detective (Lam Suet) loses his gun to four young thugs, it’s up to the PTU (Police Tactical Unit) and their iron-willed leader (Simon Yam) to recover the weapon and clean up the mess before daybreak.
