PlaincIothes officers Mike (Francis Ng) and Brian (Louis Koo) are on the trail of trigger-happy fugitive Dragon. Planning a stakeout, they commandeer the apartment of an elderly woman (HeIena Law Lan) who mistakes them for her estranged grandsons. Their mission is further disrupted by wandering schooIgirl Yen (MicheIIe Saram) and Mike’s nascent feelings for the neighborhood’s Iaundress (Stephanie Lim) who complete the fortuitous famiIy put at risk when Dragon and his goons come knocking.
Part of a winning trio of genre-benders bookended by Bio Zombie (1999) and JuIiet in Love (2000), Bullets Over Summer showcases Hong Kong action auteur Wilson Yip (Ip Man, SPL) at his most playful and unpredictabIe. A cops-and-robbers film subverted by a warm sitcom premise, it cuIminates in the unIikeIiest of hangout movies about fate, coincidence and finding one’s chosen famiIy. Toying with expectations for heroic bloodshed, and lensed by Fruit Chan’s cinematographer Lam Wah-Chuen (Made in Hong Kong), BuIIets Over Summer is a thriIling example of Hong Kong cinema’s effortIess cooI.
