Drug Lords

Drug Lords, Universe Entertainment's sequel to the 2013 crime thriller The White Storm, which took in $45 million at the international office, sees Hong Kong megastar Andy Lau joining Louis Koo and prolific helmer Herman Yau (Shock Wave) taking over directing...

Gang war erupts on the crime-ridden streets of Kowloon when an assassination attempt on Triad boss Jimmy (Calvin Poon) shatters the peace. His wife Cheung Wah (Ada Choi) and the power behind the throne passes the leadership and the responsibility for protecting his territory to bodyguard Po (Shawn Yue). This proves to be a tricky ticket, as the other bosses all attempt to manipulate him and persuade him onto their side, in particular the vicious Blackie (Chapman To).

On the evidence for 2009, it seems not, as he managed to churn out no less than 4 films, “Split Second Murders”, “Turning Point”, “The First 7th Night”, and finally, “Rebellion”, which now arrives on DVD. Although as a cat III rated triad thriller the film sees him returning to familiar territory, as usual Yau offers something a little different, whilst still managing to deliver interesting characters, grounded genre action, and even a little social commentary. The film boasts an impressive cast, headlined by the equally hard working Shawn Yue (“Shamo”) and including top television actress Ada Choi, comedian Chapman To (who previously had a taste of triad drama in the “Infernal Affairs” trilogy), and pop idols Elanne Kong (Happy Funeral) and Ella Koon (Look for a Star). The film takes place over a single night on the crime ridden streets of Eastern Kowloon,...
