The Big Heat

(1988)Directed by Andrew Kam Yeung-Wah, Johnnie To98 minAction, Thriller, Crime
“Four men, standing alone, up against a massive murderous conspiracy.”

Inspector John Wong Wai-Pong (Waise Lee Chi-Hung) is ready to quit the Hong Kong police when his former partner turns up murdered, and the resignation has to wait. He pulls together a team of three other cops to find out who did it, and the trail leads somewhere larger and uglier than any of them expected. Andrew Kam and Johnnie To keep the pace tight, and Wong goes after the answer like a man who has nothing left to leave for.
