Newly Added • 1h 39m

Directed by Ringo Lam • 1989 • Hong Kong
Starring Chow Yun-fat, Cherie Chung, Tommy Wong

A loose remake of Peter Weir’s WITNESS as reimagined through the heightened emotional intensity of Hong Kong genre cinema, this propulsive blend of crime thriller and romantic drama finds director Ringo Lam tempering his furious nihilism with strains of disarming tenderness. Chow Yun-fat stars as Lau Chung-pong, a police officer investigating an illicit arms deal. When a shootout leaves a suspect dead and her young daughter the only living witness, Lau must protect the girl from retribution, while forging a bond with her aunt (Cherie Chung) that goes beyond the line of duty.
