Shi's legend was forged through acts of brazen daring, like his infiltration of an enemy stronghold to rescue the wrongly imprisoned Lu Jun-yi from certain execution. Patrick Tam, in a performance of searing intensity, breathes life into a character confronted with the ghosts of his outlaw past, and clinging to hope for rebuilding his fractured life and finding new purpose. Chan, the acclaimed writer of the "Ip Man" franchise, infuses the film with a sense of hard- bitten optimism, suggesting that even in the darkest of times, an indomitable spirit can light the path to a better tomorrow.[ 2024 HONG KONG ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL ] Former mob leader Shi Sanburo is released from prison and works as a car parker while trying to start a small pub business. One day, Sanburo is caught and sees his son in the police station. Knowing that he has stirred up troubles with gangsters, Sanburo tries to resolve the problem. Never would he expect the leader to be the son of his once triad brother, who double-crossed him and put him in jail. The sons will now fight at the Boxing Championship, bearing the conflicts of their own and the histories of their fathers. Chan Tai- lee, director of Tomorrow Is Another Day[14th], explores a troubled father-son relationship this time, driven by a compelling performance from veteran actor Patrick Tam. 9 SINNERS d.

Impressive as ever, Anthony Wong acutely leads the story with a restrained yet intense performance, stretching the questions of faith, hope, and humanity to their extremes. 7 HI FIVE d.

One day, he received a "special" commission: the owner of the travel agency had asked him to investigate his girlfriend, who happened to be Au Yeung Wai Yip’s wife. Being a private detective, he is used to looking for the truth with cold eyes for his clients, but he finds it difficult to face the truth about their own marriage. Unable to withstand his inner torment, Au Yeung Wai Yip gave up on another ongoing case - a client's search for his missing fiancée - and went to the hotel to catch the adulterer. Unfortunately, the marriage could not be saved in the end, and the client's fiancée was killed after he left. A seemingly ordinary affair turned into a murderous incident! The police officer in charge of investigating this murder case, Chan Heong Meng, who is seemingly a good policeman and husband, discovers that more than one woman has been killed in a similar manner—the perpetrator is very likely a serial killer. After handing over the clues to Chan Heong Meng, Au Yeung Wai Yip found himself unknowingly entangled in an intricate web of mystery, with danger looming through the thick fog. To prevent the killer from striking the next target, he must rely on his professional detective instincts to turn the tide. 5 28 YEARS LATER Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O'Connell, Alfie Williams, Ralph Fiennes 4 BALLERINA d.
