Directed by Diao Yinan • 2019 • China
Starring Hu Ge, Gwei Lun-mei, Liao Fan
When small-time mob leader Zhou Zenong (Hu Ge) accidentally kills a cop, a dead-or-alive bounty is placed on his head, forcing him on the lam from both the police as well as dangerous gangsters out for the reward. Hiding out in China’s densely populated (and deeply divided) Wuhan province, Zhou becomes entangled with a beautiful, enigmatic woman, who has mysterious intentions of her own. Featuring gorgeous, neon-drenched cinematography and bursts of shocking, expertly choreographed action, this spellbinding neonoir is a bracing plunge into the darkest margins of contemporary Chinese society.
