Director 's Critically-Lauded Thriller

Synopsis

An ordinary bank teller turned financial analyst is forced to sell high-risk securities to her customers in order to meet her sales target.  A small-time thug delves into the futures index hoping to earn easy money to post bail for a buddy in trouble with the law. A straight-arrow Police inspector who has always enjoyed his middle income lifestyle is suddenly desperate for money when his wife puts a down payment on a luxury flat she can't afford and his dying father wants him to look after a young half-sister he never knew he had. Three little people who are in dire need of money for the predicaments in their respective lives have nothing in common until a bag of stolen money worth HK$5m pops up and lands them in an intricate situation that forces them into making soul searching decisions about right and wrong and everything in between on the morality scale.

About the author

The Tiger

  • Big fan of Johnnie To’s films. This was very good indeed but very very different from his usual calibers. It started quite slow though but pulled things off nicely as the story progressed. The cast was well used, with Lau Ching-Wan stealing the spotlight whenever he appeared onscreen. I’ll need to watch again though to make a final conclusion.
