| Details | View the trailer, From the codirector of the wildly successful Infernal Affairs trilogy comes this “engaging, steely, ticking-clock financial thriller” (Elizabeth Kerr, Hollywood Reporter). Sean Lau stars as King, chief investigator for Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC). When two important witnesses fail to appear in a court case he is leading, his search leads him deeper and deeper into a web of cryptocurrency, high-stakes tobacco smuggling, and a vast network of corruption that even reaches back to his own childhood. Eschewing wall-to-wall action for slowly ratcheting suspense, Mak’s film is slick, polished, and full of surprising plot twists. (Dir.: Alan Mak, Hong Kong, 2019, 114 min., DCP, Cantonese with English and Chinese subtitles) |
