窃听风云 (Qie Ting Feng Yun / Overheard) is a Hong Kong crime thriller and it's all about crime, injustice, murder, vengeance, and death. There are minimal sexual inferences in certain scenes. All in all, this movie's focus is the drama of human life with all sorts of interest conflicts and interpersonal relationships.Lau Ching Wan, Louis Koo, and Daniel Wu are the three main stars in this movie. The rest of the male actors are veterans whom you always see in TVB series - impressive.
The first 45 minutes of the movie was rather slow and depressing. The momentum began to build up gradually towards a very dramatic ending when the supposedly good cops began to make wrong decisions one after another. The wrong decisions that they made cost their life and worse, their family members' life. Such is the ugliness of tragedy, portrayed in a rather dramatic way.
This movie is recommended if you wish to watch a no-nonsense Hong Kong movie of good quality. :)
Here's a review.

Hong Kong actor Michael Wong was great in this movie I must say! Overheard is a great movie that I have not seen in a long time with great actors!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Michael Wong is great! He's a Chinese-American and a Hong Kong based actor, director, singer and producer.
