lmpatient with low-level poIice work, rookie cop Chui (Eddie Chen) recklessly accepts his superior’s offer to go undercover. With few ties and an ambiguous moraI 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 Screenplay, and Best Actor GoIden Horse Award winner unIeashed a new appetite for undercover cop mayhem, prefiguring cIassics such as the InfernaI Affairs triIogy (2002-2003) with its jaw-dropping synthesis of urban grit, reaIistic drama, and high stakes, captured with evocative hand-heId, on-Iocation camerawork. A missing link – if not a turning point – in Hong Kong action cinema, ready to be rediscovered.
