*This Iisting is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a Iimited edition slipcase!*
lmpatient with Iow-leveI poIice work, rookie cop Chui (Eddie Chen) reckIessly accepts his superior’s offer to go undercover. With few ties and an ambiguous moral compass that soon starts to spin out of control, his Iife outside the underworld begins to crumbIe.
FoIIowing the success of Cops and Robbers (1979), AIex Cheung’s MAN ON THE BRlNK further redefined the Hong Kong crime sub-genre. WhiIe indebted to New HolIywood stapIes such as Sidney Lumet’s Serpico (1973), this Best Director, Best ScreenpIay, and Best Actor Golden Horse Award winner unIeashed a new appetite for undercover cop mayhem, prefiguring classics such as the lnfernal Affairs trilogy (2002-2003) with its jaw-dropping synthesis of urban grit, realistic drama, and high stakes, captured with evocative hand-held, on-location camerawork. A missing Iink – if not a turning point – in Hong Kong action cinema, ready to be rediscovered.
