Title: Lau Ching-Wan vs. Francis Ng
Product review: The discovery of a dead body leads cop Lau Ching-Wan to believe Francis Ng is going to attempt a major theft. Director Ringo Lam is on solid, familiar ground here with this police procedural/character analysis. Lau is his usual excellent self while Ng is more reserved (though he still is simmering beneath the surface). Lam somehow manages to show the similarities between the cop and the thief without violating the integrity of the cop or making a hero of a crook. Recommended.
