Being a PRC film, it naturally affirms the long, righteous arm of the law. So in spirit, this pic, based apparently on a true crime, emits Heat’s heat in a fresh Asian way. But armed bandits killing security guards escorting a bank car stashed with cash here is still a damn big deal.Ī dogged cop in southern China chases a fugitive baddie over two decades with perspectives seen from both sides. Okay, way milder with no insane thousand-bullet shootout. This sleeper hit in China is kinda like the mainland’s version of Michael Mann's bank-robbery thriller Heat. Starring Da Peng, Gordon Lam Ka-Tung, Zhang Songwen, Qi Xi, Sunny Sun
