The chief investigator of Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is banking on a key witness, the corporate accountant Jack, to testify in court against a high-level customs officer and a tobacco trading company CEO accused of bribery and smuggling. When neither Jack nor the CEO show up on the day of the hearing, King is given seven days to save the prosecution’s case.

Being another Hong Kong movie about the ICAC, I was intrigued to watch it and see if I could work it out. Knowing that it was written and directed by one of the people behind the Infernal Affairs and Overboard trilogies, I knew this had to be an interesting movie.
Starring two of my favourite Hong Kong actors in Sean Lau and Nick Cheung, playing a Chief Inspector at the ICAC and an accountant turned whistleblower respectively, I settled in to watch this 2 hour thriller expecting a lot.
But what’s the end result? Well watch my video to find out
